5/10 ( Friday ) and Today 5/13

World History

Day 2  (5/10) for first hour (5/13)

  1. Continue to research
  2. Verbally share information to your group members so that everyone is knowledgeable in all categories. This also gives everyone a chance to practice what they will present.
  3. Create a consistent / uniform format for everyone’s info
  4. Re- word to make language peer friendly
  5. Create a plan to make this creative – type it up on the shared doc___________________________________________

Today you will refine your creative ideas if  you need to. Be sure there is a cohesive theme if you are using more than one type of visual.  How will you present the information? Do you have a strong hook and powerful ending? Are you answering specific questions or our essential question?  Remember that being creative isn’t just about the visuals but also in how you present the info verbally.  Audience engagement- How are you keeping or involving the audience?

Kudos!  Many students  showed their creative side and were able to effectively describe the long term causes of WWI ( MAIN ) via one of their favorite cartoons . They also used concrete examples from WWI for each of the causes ! Some really great examples were posted on our classroom door and in our classroom bulletin board!
