On the day of the assignment each group will compare their notes and experiences of setting up their blog sites and blogs. I will give the student the YouTube site that has presentations as examples to follow. I will also perform a presentation for the review. The student will decide their team members and gathering thoughts and concerns about their assignment. They will create an introduction for the presentation and they will decide who will be the presenter with the smart board. They will have 15 minutes to work on the smart board to get adjusted. The group will create a blog account and post a blog. Each team member will post a comment on the blog. Each team member will have a chance to decide which comment is appropriate for the blog and the presenter will make that announcement at the end of the presentation. The presenter will have 8 minutes to make the presentation. I will coach each team the day before the presentation but I will only make a assessment the day of the assignment. I will monitor the detail and presentation of the assignment. I will grade the teams’ involvement during the presentation and during the preparing period. The team will be graded based on the rubric for the assignment. Each team member will read their own comments to the class room. The presenter will announce the most appropriate comment to the classroom.
