Present Information: Persuasively share/present their findings with appropriate citations
Identify/choose appropriate presentation medium for justification of choice of source (identifying audience profile, purpose of message, etc.)
Given a research topic or area of interest the student has already selected, the student will decide the objective for passing the knowledge of this topic/area to an audience. The objective will determine:
- what knowledge the student will include in the message
- whether the student should best use persuasion or simply inform
- who the audience will be
- what technology will be used to deliver the message (Plan A: WordPress blog, Plan B: if student is familiar with another presentation medium, he/she may use it then link into blog, usability must be considered)
Present information w/ an awareness of how rhetoric shapes the resulting message. Reflect on the viewpoint of sources and describe how they differ.
Assessment:
- Rubric of students’ effectiveness in determining factors for delivering topic/area of interest that meets objective.
- Rubric of product that demonstrates effective implementation of objective.
- Reflect in blog how rhetoric shapes the resulting message
Re-purpose information in a publicly accessible format
- Create a dynamic presentation (WordPress) with documented tools and methods used throughout this course (use continually for planning and reflection)
- Include each artifact/project created in the course
- Continually evolving annotated bibliography of resources
- Feedback
Followup reflection on identity/sharing and potential conversation (feedback) from others
