TO Teacher
You might want to evaluate the groups students have been working in and, if necessary, make adjustments to ensure success on this Embedded Assessment project.
1 Assignment: Have students mark the text to identify all the assignment requirements.
2 Planning and Prewriting: Have students in each group collaborate to create a KWHL chart in which to record prior knowledge and generate research questions and search terms about their subject. Tell them to include their plans for the visuals they will need to find or create.
3 Researching: Give students time and access to a library or the Internet to conduct reseach by choosing and evaluating sources and recording their citations and information about their subject on notecards.
4 Creating: Have students prepare a publishable draft of their annotated bibliography.
5 After students have completed their research and annotated bibliographies, provide additional class time for the project preparation. Remind students that this project is a multimedia presentation. Information must be concise and visually clear
so viewers can understand in about five minutes the subject’s biography and what made that person a great leader. Decide if you want to specify which types of media students should include in their presentation, such as presentation slides, posters, trifold displays, and/or video, and be sure that students have access to at least one of the media you choose.
