Evaluation
Evaluation is the central instructional objective of this Lesson.
Students will complete a minimum of a 6 slide PowerPoint® presentation that will include a title page, at least one page for each characteristic/region, and a bibliography page. The format of each slide will reflect the collaboratively designed rubric for proportion of text to graphics. The text for each slide is the result of Lesson 5 and will follow Grade level appropriate writing conventions with 80% accuracy. Writing content will be appropriate to the target audience and will include at least one entry for each characteristic/region.
Since the design rubric was made collaboratively it is important that the evaluation also be collaborative. I would also be important that the students become critical evaluators of their own work and that they are able to critically evaluate others' work as well.
