Grammar+Presentation+Directions

Grammar is not likely a new concept to you. In fact, you’ve been in the process of learning proper grammar and mechanics since you first began reading and writing. Because of this, grammar is not a unit that takes front stage in our course. Nonetheless, the rules and guidelines of grammar are things you are expected to know for writing in your classes, performing well on standardized tests, and presenting yourself in a professional fashion.

Therefore, each Friday we will take the opportunity to review grammar concepts and ideas. For the first few Fridays of school, I will be leading these lessons. However, you will eventually take on the responsibility of lesson presentation. When presenting a lesson, you are expected to accomplish the following:

· Present a **PowerPoint** or other **visual representation** of the important information covered in your assigned pages · ** Copies ** of the notes that you are presenting for the entire class · ** Activities ** which cover all of the exercises within your pages (exempting those activities labeled as Review or Applying What You Know) · ** Mastery ** of your content, so as to address any questions the class may have. This may mean that you have to use additional resources. · ** Creativity ** is encouraged and in some cases rewarded.

Grammar appears in a variety of locations that should be of utmost concern to you. Not the least of these occasions will be the final exam for this class, which is cumulative. Keep in mind, you are responsible for the class’ success in the areas you are planning on teaching.

You will be asked to choose dates/topics from a schedule. If you are scheduled to present, be aware that you are expected to be in school that day. If you are not able to attend school on your scheduled date, it is your responsibility to contact me, contact anyone with whom you are working, and reschedule your presentation. Be aware that only the direst circumstances dictate missing a scheduled presentation, and //you// are the person who chose to present on the specified date. I will have minimal patience in this area.

If you must switch your presentation date, you must communicate with the person(s) with whom you are switching //and// me. If I do not approve the switch, or it is completed without my having been notified, you will not receive credit for your presentation. You may work with a partner, if you choose. However, be advised that this will be a group grade. If you wish to work alone, that request can be accommodated.  ** Name(s): ** · All contents of the assigned pages was covered · All exercises were completed · Information presented was correct || || || || || || || · Copies were prepared · Activities were prepared, along with correct answers · Visual aides were professional and in working order || || || || || || || · Sufficient eye contact and volume · Visual aides were helpful and aesthetic · Presenters behaved in a professional manner · Presentation was well organized and moved fluidly || || || || || || || <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· Presenters were capable of explaining content clearly <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· Presenters were able to answer questions posed by classmates <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· Information presented was correct <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· Answers to activities were correct <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">·  Presenters were able to explain reasoning behind the answers to activities   || || || || || || ||
