Evaluation Students will produce a newscast presentation as a cooperative team. Each team will be evaluated by the teacher and by each team using a rubric created by the class. The final evaluation is the team's presentation of a news report on weather in front of their peers. The newscast team will also self-evaluate themselves after their presentation. This unit in the past has created classroom cohesiveness in my classroom.
Students demonstrate self-discipline in providing a good presentation.
They help each other and place high expectations upon themselves and their team. In teaching this unit, I believe it will encourage students to view news in a critical point of view, learn organizational in planning a team project and develop their communication skills in front of an audience. A mini lesson on presentation skills will be needed during the two week unit. Much success and happy presenting. Last updated on May 16, 1996.
