You are expected to work in teams of at least 3 in order to develop a 15 - 20 minute final presentation to be given in class every term on an issue related to the themes we have been studying.   The team will select one theme and obtain my approval.  Each member of the team will then choose, on his/her own, a different topic within this theme and also obtain my approval.  In teams, you will have to introduce and conclude the common Theme, but each member will have his/her own introduction and conclusion related to the topic they have individually chosen.  There are, as you know well, two parts to this project: Oral and Written.

The criteria used to grade the Oral Presentation will include:
(cf. handout "Panel Presentations: Evaluation Criteria")

In Teams:
1. Introduction of Team Members-
2. Title of THEME- Outline of the whole presentation-
3. General Purpose- Interest arousal-
4. Presentation style + Enthusiasm-
5. Introduction & Conclusion of THEME (including thesis statement + restatement of thesis)-
6. Collaboration among/transition between Team Members- Questions elicited-
7. Visual Aids used in common-
8. Timing of presentation.

Individually:
1. Title of the TOPIC presented- Goal of presentation (explanation)-
2. Outline of individual presentation + Organization.
3. Introduction: Interest arousal + thesis statement.
4. Facts provided (Remember to PARAPHRASE) + sources/references
   (A statement about where information used in the presentation was obtained from)
5. Personal Analysis
6. Activities used to make sure the students have grasped the information
   provided (ex: short quiz, questionnaire, item ranking...).
7. Presentation style + Enthusiasm + Index cards.

   (It is suggested to use one to two more visual(s), such as handouts or posters)
10. Conclusion/brief review of all major points covered in the presentation.
11. Time for class questions.

The team must notify me a week PRIOR to their presentation regarding what equipment they need for their presentation: overhead, VCR, or PC.  If using music, the portable stereo system will have to be supplied by the team. Don't forget to provide a copy of "Panel Presentations: Evaluation Criteria" for each one of your classmates including me to get our feedback. If you have your OWN Evaluation Form it will be much better.

In addition to the Oral presentation, each Team must submit a Written Presentation that should include the following components:

1. Cover Page.(Title of THEME + Illustration, Team Name, Names of all team members,
    Name of school, Name of teacher, Subject, Class, Date)
2. Outline of overall presentation of THEME including the TOPICS with their subheadings.
   + Don't forget to mention the page numbers.
    The outline should state when slides and activities are used during the presentation.
    It should also provide an explanation for why each activity was chosen.
3. Purpose of Theme presentation.
4. Introduction of theme.
5. Topics of individual team members- Each topic will include the following:

• a- Cover page for individual member
• b- Outline of his/her presentation + page numbers
• c- Introduction
• d- Facts- PARAPHRASE! (+ titles and subheadings + pictures)
• e- Personal Analysis

    and how much you benefited from it.
