Presentations

During the past week, our class has been learning about digital textbooks and their advantages and disadvantages compared to current textbooks. Students read articles and watched a few 2-4 minute videos. Next, they compiled the information and wrote a speech, voicing their opinion on the topic. To make it more applicable, their speech was designed around them adding their opinion to the principal of the school, who, in the scenario was contemplating looking into new options for books (including digital). Finally, students gave their speeches, which didn't have to be 100% memorized, but known well enough that they didn't have to read. Presentations occurred in small groups on the playground today. They did an outstanding job!
