The Process
Daily Procedure:
Before the end of each class period, your
group must complete a Group Daily Reflection Sheet, sign it, and return it to
me before leaving the class to receive credit for your group
participation. You may determine
who is responsible for handing in the Daily Reflection Sheet. Also, properly
cite borrowed words, photographs, pictures, etc.
Ø First, each member of
the group will read an overview of World War II.
Ø Second, each member
will become an expert on the topic that he/she selects and will record answers
to the questions listed on the appropriate graphic organizers.
Ø Third, persons who
have the same topic will form a secondary group to collect information
pertaining to their topic. However,
each person is responsible for doing his/her own work. Turn work in for review
by me.
Ø Fourth, members of the
original group will come together, discuss their findings, and formulate their
group’s position statement and begin writing the position paper. Turn in
rough draft to me for review.
Ø Sixth, check your
group’s position paper against the rubric and make necessary corrections.
Ø Seventh, complete the
group presentation sheet by listing your group’s presentation mode (skit,
power point presentation, or newscast), roles each member will play, and the
date your group will conduct the oral presentation.
Ø Eighth, prepare the
necessary prompts for your oral presentation.
Ø Ninth, practice your
group’s performance.
Ø Tenth, turn in to me
the final copy of the position paper on the day of your group’s
presentation.
