Time Frame:
Each child will be given two to five minutes to explain his poster to the group.
Materials Needed:
The students will be provided with posterboards to take home. At home they may use photos, markers, crayons, and any other craft items they want to decorate their posterboards.
Description of Task:
Students must create a visual presentation of a celebration that is important to them and their families. It could be Mother's Day, Grandpa's birthday, a summer vacation, or even a holiday we discussed in this Unit. This posterboard will be shared with the whole group. Before the posterboards are handed out to the students, we will brainstorm the types of things that should be included on the posterboard and record these on a concept map. Items to include in presentation: What is being celebrated? Why this is important to them/their families? Who is at the celebration? Where does the celebration take place? When does it happen? (Five Ws)
They will be assessed on the Five Ws and on their Oral Presentation Skills: fluency, vocabulary, grammar, content, and volume.
We will discuss the Five Ws and I will give examples of excellent, good, and poor Oral Presentation Skills.
