Financial Literacy Professional Instructional Presentation

Directions:

Paired students are to research, prepare, and present, within the student’s allotted time frame, lesson(s) on a topic(s) as randomly selected by the students. Presentations should engage classmates, be explained in as much detail as possible, allow classmates to explore the topic, allow classmates to expand by building on previous subject matter, and each topic shall be evaluated. Refer to the attached Bloom’s Taxonomy for an idea of how the subject matter should progress in presenting, learning, and understanding the information (from bottom to top of pyramid).

Dress for the presentation will be professional for all presentation days.

Activities can be assigned individually or in groups but you will need to specify the group size and determine if you will assign groups or allow students to choose their own groups.

Use technology. Use it in your presentation, use it in preparing your information, use it in gaining the knowledge you need to instruct the information, use it to your advantage and let it help you create a wonderful presentation. Place your files on a flash drive and bring them with you to class and we will run them from my computer.

Invest the time in the preparation. You will be given a lot of time in class to do so, make sure that you use your time wisely and to your advantage to create the best presentation. Everyone can earn an A on this assignment if you put forth the effort.
