Icebreaker 

"I’m the Expert"

Students brain stormed, using brainstorming sheets, about skills they're proud of; counting in a foreign language, learning spelling-list words, fixing a bike tire, or making banana pancakes, which could all be completed in 10 steps. Class reviewed a few how-to videos to identify common elements in this type of public speaking; what kind of language was used, how the presentation was structured, what types of visuals were used, etc. (use video element comparison worksheet). Students outlined the steps of their speech and created visuals illustrating key points. Once students were completed, they gave their presentation to the class. 
 

Daily Activity

Students went over their homework and presented what they worked on at home. Based on their progress we moved forward with our science fair presentation projects. Students went over their outlines and schedule, and began making a mock material list. We gathered items on their list that we did have on hand. Students went down our list from last week to prepare for their major project. 
  1. Brainstorm - Think of ideas that are easy to do in our class as a mock science project, keep it simple. 
  2. Schedule - Create a schedule for your mock science project; buy these items on this day, test this hypothesis on this date, results by this date, etc. 
  3. Outline Presentation - Provide an outline of your presentation using Ms. Adrienne's Writing Guide
  4. Call to action - Think of a call to action for your audience with you project; reduce waste, carbon foot print, etc.
  5. Material List - A list of items you would need for your mock science project; if we have items on hand in class, we will use them. 
Major Project

Science Project - Day 2


Students continued to work on their projects; they worked on their call to action and made sure the presentation included items learned in previous classes like; a clear topic, attention grabbing beginning, provide examples and details, a clear conclusion. Students also needed to include items leaned int he science fair video such as stating your hypothesis, stating your conclusion, and providing your evidence. Students that completed their list of objectives began presenting. Students that didn't complete their objectives at the end of class, brought their work home to complete and present after our icebreaker in class next week.
