Notes: When forming groups, four students will work together on each Power Point presentation. Ensure that students who need extra support are placed into a group with other students they will work well with and that are performing on grade level or higher. It is also important to have at least one student in each group who is familiar with Microsoft Power Point and creating presentations. Review expectations for students to properly use technology such as the Internet and Microsoft Power Point. If needed, provide a tutorial for students who need assistance using Power Point to create a presentation.
