3. Teacher Input
I will pass out and explain the grading rubric. I will inform students
that their grade will be an average of all of the assessments, but the
rubric I fill out will be weighed more than the classes. This will
prevent people from grading their friends well and others poorly.
I will then review the rules for presentations, such as not talking during
someone elses presentation, and active listening. I will instruct
students to begin picking numbers from a hat. This is the order they
will present in.
4. Guided Practice
<>Students will now fill out a grading sheet for the presentation I
have completed.
-
After having time to fill one out we will discuss why they chose certian
grades. This will give them a reference to what would be a fair scoring
of a presentation. I will ask them questions like, "What if I would
have just shown a slide with out talking about it. Where would that
fit on our rubric?"
5. Independent Practice
-
Students will now begin their presentations.
-
I will assit them with bringing up their projects if needed.
-
One student will present while others listen and grade.
6. Closure
-
After the presentations I will have students write about their experiences.
-
The writing will include, what they learned, what they liked the most,
what was the hardest part, and what they would change for next year's group.
