Part III
OK, here's the part where you get to have some say in my plan.
There are many ways to teach something! You and the members of your group need to decide which way will work best for the mission and for the personal interests of the group's members.
Remember that you will be teaching the students during a video conference. The most important part of your lesson will be what you say. The key is to get the other students to remember what you say! To do that, you have to be creative.
I am providing you with some choices on how to teach the other students in a creative way. You do not have to use one of these methods. You may come up with your own. If you do come up with your own, please be prepared to explain what you are going to do and how you plan on doing it.
Your Responsibility to your group:
Every member of the group must play an active role! You will be responsible for keeping a journal that tracks how you made significant contributions to the work that you group completes.
Each time your group meets, you will be given five minutes at the end to reflect on the work that was done. You will write down what you did that day as an individual and what your group accomplished as a whole. You will also keep track of your group's successes and problems. Your journal will be evaluated.

No matter which method you choose, it will be evaluated. Each method has its own requirements. See below for more information.
Your group will also be evaluated on their performance during the presentation that you deliver to the other kids during the video conference. Click here to see what the requirements are for your oral presentation.
Your group can design and create a poster that will be used to help the students understand what you are teaching them.
Click here for the poster's requirements.
Your group can design and create a game that the students can play to help them remember why it is important to evaluate a website and how to do it.

Have you ever had a song or jingle stuck in your head? You hear it playing over and over again and you can't help but sing it out loud! Well, maybe your group will want to use that to your advantage. Write a song that you can teach the other kids that will help them understand why they need to evaluate websites and how to do it.
Click here for the song's requirements.
Have you ever watched a commercial and thought "I have to have that!"? Well, maybe your group will want to use that to your advantage. Film a television commercial that will remind the other kids of why they need to evaluate websites and how to do it.

Create a PowerPoint Presentation
Not very creative with pen and paper? That's OK, you can create a PowerPoint presentation and show off your computer skills.

Are you more comfortable writing rather than singing or acting? OK, how about designing a brochure? You can use Publisher to create a bi-fold or tri-fold brochure.
