Mini-presentation

DESCRIPTION

Groups work together to collect and present information.

This activity could follow on from a "Jigsawing" activity.  Alternatively, the group may decide which task or topic to allocate to each member.

The group must also decide how best to present their information.  The teacher may wish to stipulate that every member of the group plays some part in the presentation (even if it is only pointing to the parts of a diagram or holding up relevant artefacts).

OUTCOMES

This activity helps to develop speaking and presentation skills.  It also helps to develop students' organisation skills.  By valuing each student's work and contribution, it can help to build self-esteem..
