Content:
Students will do their group presentations. Peers will make comments, ask questions, and give positive and constructive feedback.
Motivation/Preteach
Teacher will comment on what she saw while observing the different groups. I will tell students that I am very eager to see what the students came up with for their group presentations.
Procedure:
1. Review criteria and rubric system before beginning presentations to remind students what I will looking for.
2. Call up first group presentation.
3. After the group's presentation, I will invite students to make comments and give constructive criticism. (What did you like about the group's presentation? Are there any new words that you learned? What could we add to our "L" column?) I will also share my comments with the presenting group and the class.
4. Do steps 2&3 for all six groups.
Closing Event:
Call on students to have them share what they learned from the group presentations. What were some new things that we learned today? Did we list it on our KWL chart? Get feedback on how students felt and experienced while working in groups. Was working in groups effective? Was is easier to accomplish the tasks working in a group? What were some of the positive things experienced working in groups? What didn't work?
Assessments:
-Students' presentations will have met all criteria listed. (Did they clearly state the use of the ti leaf? Did they draw or show a picture of the product?)
-Teacher will assign a grade based on criteria met from the rubric chart.
-Students will listen attentively to the presentations and volunteer facts learned and comments that are relevant to the discussion. (What was the ti leaf's use that the group talked about? Could you describe for me what it looked like?)
