Teacher Does Probing Questions Student Does
|
Engage: -Show sample Power Point that is poorly
developed and difficult to view.
-See how many problems the students find and write them on the board. |
-What are some of the
problems in this presentation?
Raise your hand during the presentations and we will record them on
the board. -Do you think you can do
a better job than this? -What would you do
differently? |
-Too many words. -CanÕt read the text. -No pictures. -It is boring. -The sound/effects are too distracting. -Say less. -Talk more. -Put in pictures. |
|
Explore: -Pass out the ÒPower Point Presentation InstructionsÓ
(This activity could be done in pairs if computers are limited, or collaborative groups are preferred.) -Go over the instruction with the students. -Write the presentation prompt on the board. |
-Why do we use something like Power Point to present information to a group? -Why would we need more than words? Do you learn by me talking to you the whole class period? -Is science the only subject Power Point can be used in? -Is this the only way we can help people understand what we are talking about? What sort of things do I use to help you understand what I teach you? |
-It is something they can see instead of just the words you are telling them. -Seeing something helps you understand it better. -You can use it for all subjects, like History, English, Spanish. -You can also use videos, computer simulations, labs, and demonstrations. |
|
Explain: -Each student or pair of students presents their Power Point Presentation. -The rest of the class can offer suggestions in a written form. |
-If you were in the audience, would this be clear to you? -Are you going to want to read the Power Point or listen to the presenter? -Are there any pictures you can add to help the audience understand what you are presenting? |
-Students offer suggestions (written or orally) to their classmates to improve their presentations. |
|
Extend / Elaborate: -Teacher shows an example Power Point Presentation. -Students may revise Power Points, and then present the improved product for an assessment grade. |
-What will the audience take away from your presentation? -If you have few suggestions for improvement by your classmates, can you think of anyway to improve your presentations? Could you add in any photos, diagrams, tables, or video to help the person understand? |
|
|
Evaluate: -Have students
submit final Power Point for a grade. |
