Day 4: Presentation
Day
Big Ideas/Long Term Goals: Students will feel comfortable speaking in front of a group and expressing their ideas and research verbally in a cohesive manner.
Objective:
· Students will present their findings and research on their assigned element to the class from the film clip they viewed from Capote
Motivation:
At the beginning of class, I will allow each group to briefly meet to finalize their presentation and tie up any loose ends before the presentations begin. I will then review with them the elements of the rubric that I will use to grade their work. (Timing: 5 minutes)
Procedure:
Each group will give their presentation in the predetermined order. Each pair will have 4-5 minutes for their presentation and a total of 10 presentations will be made. After each presentation, I will open the floor for any questions or comments anyone might have for the presenting group. (Timing: 30-40 minutes). Hopefully, each group will be able to present that day but, if not, the remaining groups will go the next day. During the presentations, I will sit in the back filling out the rubric for each group.
Closure:
At the end of class, I will ask students to remember to bring back all their notes from their presentation and the film to the following class day as they will need them for that day’s activity. (Timing: 1-2 minutes)
Assessment:
Formal assessment using the rubric developed for the presentations. The grade for the presentation will be factored into the overall participation grade.
NCTE/NYS Standards:
NCTE Standard 3: Students apply a
wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate
texts. They draw on their prior experience, their interactions with other
readers and writers, their knowledge of word meaning and of other texts, their
word identification strategies, and their understanding of textual features
(e.g., sound-letter correspondence, sentence structure, context, graphics).
NCTE Standard 4: Students adjust
their use of spoken, written, and visual language (e.g., conventions, style,
vocabulary) to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for
different purposes.
NCTE Standard 6: Students apply
knowledge of language structure, language conventions (e.g., spelling and
punctuation), media techniques, figurative language, and genre to create,
critique, and discuss print and non-print texts.
NCTE Standard 7: Students conduct
research on issues and interests by generating ideas and questions, and by
posing problems. They gather, evaluate, and synthesize data from a variety of
sources (e.g., print and non-print texts, artifacts, people) to communicate
their discoveries in ways that suit their purpose and audience.
NCTE Standard 11: Students
participate as knowledgeable, reflective, creative, and critical members of a
variety of literacy communities.
NCTE Standard 12: Students use spoken, written, and visual language to accomplish their own purposes (e.g., for learning, enjoyment, persuasion, and the exchange of information).
NYS Standard 1: Students will read, write, listen, and speak for information and understanding.
NYS Standard 3: Students will read, write, listen, and speak for critical analysis and evaluation.
NYS Standard 4: Students will read, write, listen, and speak for social interaction.
