- Educators post the learning objectives.
- Students must pick a book for project. Students can work on their own or work in groups of two or three. Each student would be required to turn in their own rubric.
- Students have two weeks to read book and complete graphic organizer.
- Students will be given time at the beginning of each class to read silently and write in their journals the information they will need for their presentation.
- Students need to plan out their presentation before going to the library/computer lab to create the presentation. This can be done on their graphic organizer on Popplet or on a storyboarding tool like Cacoo.
Presentation:
