Work Time
A. Performance Task Presentations (30 minutes)
„ If applicable, welcome audience members to the classroom.
„ Explain the procedures and expectations for both presenters and listeners. Remind students to check the Work to Become Ethical People anchor chart before they share, focusing on the characteristics of respect, empathy, and compassion.
„ Invite students and audience members to move to the designated area(s) of the room for the presentations and begin the presentations. Given the limited time allotted, and if additional time cannot be added, it likely makes the most sense to have students present as if doing a poster-session as noted in Teaching Notes. That way each student gets to present his or her presentation and narrative to an audience.
„ Support students with presentations as necessary. Provide options for physical action by removing barriers using assistive technology and o ering support as students deliver their presentations (e.g., o er alternatives for interacting with the mouse, such as help from a peer assistant).
„ Afterallpresentationshavebeencompleted,inviteaudiencememberstojoininaroundof applause for all presenters, and say goodbye to the guests if applicable.
„ Refocus whole group.
„ Ask and give students 1 minute to think before inviting volunteers to share with the
whole group:
“What was a highlight of this presentation for you? Why?” (Responses will vary.)
„ Display, repeat, and invite students to rephrase the question. If productive, cue students to expand the listen carefully to one another and seek to understand:
“Who can tell us what your classmate said in your own words?” (Responses will vary.)
„ Give students specific, positive feedback on their presentations (e.g., “I heard a lot of you speaking at an appropriate pace and volume to be clearly understood”).
Closing and Assessment
A. Review Guiding Questions and Big Ideas – SL.6.1 (10 minutes)
„ Refocus and direct students to the Module Guiding Questions anchor chart. Remind
them that these are the questions that have guided the work over the three units.
„ Invite the students to Think-Pair-Share about the following guiding question before inviting volunteers to share with the whole group:
“What is mythology? What is the value of studying mythology from other cultures?” (A collection of stories featuring traditional figures that explain natural phenomena and convey the values of the culture. Studying stories from other cultures introduces alternative perspectives and amplifies one’s worldview.)
„ If productive, encourage students to expand the conversation by giving an example: “Can you give an example?” (Responses will vary.)
