Researching the “Ism’s” – 75 points
Task: Working in groups you will be asked to research a “big topic” as a group and
each member will be in charge of a “little topic”. Working as a group you will put
together a 5 minute “presentation lesson” where you will teach your classmates
about your “ism”. Do a good job! This information will be on the final exam.
In addition to a visual/presentation element each group should make a hand out,
outline, etc. to give your classmates the information that you are presenting on.
Presentation Options: All presentations should answer the important questions
(Who, What, Where, When, Why and How), Short/Long Term effects, etc.
Visual Aid (Poster, Art Gallery, Collage, etc.): Must be created entirely by hand and be
a collaboration of all group members research. It is entirely up to you how to
construct your visual aid. Be sure to include a title, headings, images,
quotes/other primary sources, and hand drawn maps. You want your visual
image to be a representation of your research.
PowerPoint/Prezi: You are required to include at least 5- 10 slides for PPT and the
Prezi needs to have at least 5-6 panels. If you are using a template in Prezi a
lot of this will be structured out for you and you may add paths and panels as
you. BE CREATIVE! Full paragraphs of information will not be accepted.
Make a Documentary or Perform a skit: You can set up your skit in any creative way
(News show, Talk Show, SportsCenter, CNN, etc.) to present your topic. All
group members must participate. It is recommended that the group rehearse
the skit before presenting to the class.
