planning to present research
AcTIvITy 4.5
Learning Targets
• Synthesize research about Shakespeare and his society.
• Create a multimedia presentation on Shakespeare and his society.
1. Present your information in your jigsaw group, and listen to comprehend while others present. Use your written response from the previous activity to guide your presentation about your topic.
When you are the speaker:
• Come to the discussion prepared.
• Use appropriate eye contact, adequate volume, and clear pronunciation.
• Form and respond to specific questions relating to the topic under discussion.
When you are the listener:
• Take notes and ask questions for clarification after each speaker presents in order to understand their ideas.
• Challenge your group to explore ideas and think about the topic on a deeper level.
• Evaluate the strength of ideas to provide constructive feedback and offer suggestions to strengthen ideas when necessary.
Check Your Understanding
Work collaboratively in your jigsaw group to synthesize information by putting different pieces of your research together to form a coherent whole. Use the questions below to guide the process:
• What conclusion(s) can you draw about Shakespeare and his society?
• How can you organize and sequence (order) your information to make your conclusions clear to others (e.g., use headings and transitions). Use the mapping strategy to show your thinking.
• How can you use multimedia and/or visual displays to clarify ideas and add interest?
