Critiquing a Presentation

• Ms. Daniel (or Ms.Roberts) will give a presentation on "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" which we read as a class last week.
• Use THIS DOCUMENT (make a copy for yourself) to take notes on positive parts of the presentation and parts that need improvement.
• After the presentation, go HERE to post your helpful feedback.

Your Turn!

• The culminating project for our "Reading the Novel" unit is a group presentation.
• You will work together to cover these categories in your group novel. Each person should become the "expert" on one (or more) of the categories below:
• Setting
• Characterization
• Plot
• Diction
• Theme
• Your recommendation

• There is a template HERE to get you started, but you are encouraged to be as creative as possible.
• Check THIS RUBRIC before you begin - use images to represent what you are trying to convey. The less text on the slide, the better.
• If you need to look at the example presentation again, use Ms. Daniel's presentation here to help guide you.
• Everyone in your group must have a speaking role, because you will be assessed individually and as a group. Each person should become an expert on one of the categories above.

Ready? Get set?

• Assign roles to everyone in your group. 
• Make a copy of your template and share it with everyone in your group.
• Name it Period, Novel Title, Your First Names. 
• Also share it with Ms. Daniel, Ms. Roberts and Ms. Love (periods 1-2) 
• Go! 

Reminders:

Check your English Journal for any work you need to finish.

Check the blog when you are absent.

Be ready to come tomorrow and finish up your group project!
