Pageof 2ZOOM Guidelines for the Group PresentationSYG 2010 Group Presentations are to be presented in the last couple weeks of the semester.  They should be last the full class period. Over the course of the semester, you only have to give one presentation.Definition of the Assignment:  This assignment is designed for you to interact with sources beyond what we could cover in class. This activity helps prepare students to engage in thoughtful and research-based conversations about social problems. In addition, this assignment should help to hone media literacy skills. Students will compose a thoughtful lesson that will last the period leading their peers in a productive and analytical discussion of the substantive topic where they will be required to use a cooperative classroom learning strategy (such as a mock debate, a jigsaw exercise, role play, etc.).  The lesson needs to be thoroughly researched and planned out (i.e. no “winging it”).  Your grade will be based on the substance of the material, the visual component, the discussion guide, and your public speaking/quality of the overall presentation.  After completing this assignment, students should be able to speak expertly on the subject from a social constructionist view.  Starting thoughts to consider: Is your topic a social problem; what questions emerge from your research; what social issues are involved; what population is affected; what perspective will you take; comparisons between concepts discussed in previous sessions and the concepts in your social problem; connections other social problems as well as the broader understanding of the social problem.What should you include:  In your lecture, you should have a natural flow, but remain structured.  You have to include mention to non0academic materials.  This can be some we’ve covered or others that you suggest your classmates engage with.  Help us understand how the social problem has been received, who it affects, what are the politics around the problem.  How should we academically understand it?  What do the different perspectives believe?  What can we do about it?The Visual Component (I suggest powerpoint or Prezi)to a presentation presents information differently (such as with pictures, videos, graphs, diagrams), i.e. you shouldn’t read straight from a power point as it should be presenting what you are saying in a different way.  It serves as an aide in giving a presentation or lecture.  (All materials used within the visual component have to be properly cited—at the end of the presentation.)  The Annotated Discussion Guide willinclude the questions you want to ask the class and the probes you will use if you need to provoke the class into talking.  Below each question and probe, I want a short description of why you are asking the question, what you hope to gain by asking, how you plan to transition between questions, and what the connection you see between the material and class Reading and the question.  You are required to ask a number of discussion questions equal to how many people are in your group. Each person should write and ask their own discussion question.And Finally, you will be graded on all the essentials of public speaking/presentation including form, clarity, eye contact, transition, etc.
