| Students have been using technology in 7th grade to learn how to give effective presentations. Their presentations were thoughtfully designed to convince their audience that their favorite thing is the best of its kind (for example, pasta is the best food). The technology students used provided immediate feedback and helped students set goals for improvement. |
The student who presented then went into the hallway to watch the video, read the emails from classmates and read the teacher’s feedback on the rubric. All students will write a reflection about what aspects of their presentation they were proud of, and they will set goals for what aspects they would like to improve for their next presentation. The reflection, as well as the video of their presentation will be posted in their Language Arts website portfolio, which students’ parents will be able to view.
