The Objective: Present mathematical findings to an audience
Agenda: The students were given rubrics to remind them what I was looking for in their presentations (the same rubrics were given the day before). I also gave students a separate sheet that asked them to write one piece of positive feedback for their peers. The feedback could be regarding how they presented their vacation or just something about their vacation in general.
The Assessment: The rubrics that are linked here were given to students as well comments to give them feedback about presenting a finding.
Glass Half-Full: In six years of teaching I've never had a day where students present orally to one another about what they had done. It was actually quite enjoyable for both student and teacher. Today might have made the entire project and the hardships it came with worthwhile. Here's a look at one presentation:
One Regret: Not having exemplars gave students a harder time of knowing what exactly it was that I wanted from. I am going to hang onto a couple posters and also some videos that students submitted to better help students with the expectations of the project for next year.
Link of the Day: This toolkit from the UK delves into the cost and proof of different interventions toward helping students at risk.
