WWI

Group Project Directions

 * 1) Each group of 2-3 people will have a specific topic to learn about. The topics are listed below. The end result for each group will be to teach the class about your topic in a 20 -30 minute presentation/lesson.
 * 2) Groups will create a unique wikipage on their topic with any applicable links, videos, pictures, questions, and more. These pages will be used in the presentation/lesson, along with any handouts made to teach the class about the topic.
 * 3) Each person in the group will be responsible for adding material to the wikipage and for being in charge for one full section of the presentation/lesson.
 * 4) Groups must use 5 resources from the school databases. From these 5 sources, each group will take out the most important information and create a lesson, using the lesson plan handout, to teach the learned ideas.

Each Group wikipage must have the following sections:
 * Overall ideas
 * Directions for the lesson
 * Pictures with mla citations
 * Videos
 * Questions for the class
 * Links to important outside sources

Grading

 * 1) The wikipage will be worth 25 points. It will be graded on overall organization and content from all sources listed above. Each person in the group will be given an individual grade based upon his/her contributions.
 * 2) The presentation will be worth 50 points. Each person in the group will receive an individual grade based upon his/her participation, knowledge of topic, and presentation skills.
 * 3) The overall lesson will be worth 25 points, and each person in the group will receive the same grade based upon the level of ideas presented, the quality of work designed for the class to accomplish, and effectiveness with which the lesson was understood by the class.
