Coasts Teaching Presentations
Task: Compose and deliver an educational presentation in groups. The presentation
should include at least one visual aid, a demonstration or lab to engage the audience, an
assessment of learning for the audience, and two submitted quiz questions for Friday’s
quiz. You must properly cite your sources in MLA format and include a works cited page.
Aim to teach for at least five minutes.
Topics: erosional landforms, beaches, estuaries, longshore currents, depositional features, coastline
protection structures, and changes in sea level
Materials: You are responsible for collecting your own materials. You may use anything
from home or the lab. Materials available for checkout include: sand, rocks, water, chalk,
sediment, clay, rulers, balance scales, beakers, and my computer. Be creative and keep it
inexpensive. Look at the website for some lab/demo ideas. If you have trouble coming up
with or stealing ideas ask Mr. Stephens.
Questions to answer:
1. How are you going to “teach” this topic?
2. What are your sources?
3. What demonstration or lab are you going to perform?
4. What are you going to show as a visual aid?
5. How does your concept happen?

7. What are the consequences of your topic?
8. Why is it important to study your topic?

quiz? (due Thursday)
