August 29/30: Group presentations on ancient civilizations

Students will work together with their group to further develop a group presentation to share what they have learned about their selected ancient civilization. Student groups will give a 5-minute presentation to their classmates. Each member within a group must present their own slide and speak to the class for approx. 1 minute.

Instructions: 

• 1 person in your group will start a Google Slide presentation. They will need to share it with the rest of your group giving them editing permission.
• You may choose any theme or background.
• 1 person in your group needs to fill out the following Google Survey/Form to submit the shareable link to your group presentation:
• Submit group presentation link to THIS Google Form

Students need to put their name on their slide.
The 1-minute presentation will be formatively assessed using the Explanatory Writing rubric on your presentation slide for your written communication of what you have learned. You should have a title, an image (with citation), a brief explanation of your topic/focus within the group, and your source (textbook, etc.)

​HW Prep: Formative assessment
You will be formatively assessed on your notes (in WH Drop folder) the Inquiry Rubric for 2 strands: the Collecting Evidence strand and the Analysis strand. For homework, be sure to go back and look over your notes (only for the section/system YOU presented on in class) and ensure you have included your sources (reference either the textbook with page number, the World History Vol. 1 pdf document or an online source for your notes). Be sure you have summarized your understanding of the system/section and you have asked further questions (this shows analysis). It will be helpful if you can HIGHLIGHT or change the color of the table for the section you are focusing on and have presented on in class.
