Section 5: Overview

Creating and Delivering Our Presentation

Working as a team, we will synthesize our information to determine what we have learned and how best to communicate our findings to our audience. We will deliver our presentations to our learning community.

• Lesson 1:

  Plan Presentation

  Using the Application Unit Presentation Guide, we will begin the process of planning and creating a cohesive presentation for our learning community by unpacking the presentation roles, components, structure, and process.

• Lesson 2:

  Plan and Draft Presentation

  We will continue the process of planning and creating a cohesive presentation for our learning community by selecting integral inquiry paths to present, assigning team member roles, and developing our detailed plan, outline, and materials.

• Lesson 3:

  Draft Presentation

  As we create a cohesive presentation for our learning community, each member of our team will compose distinct written components. We will each work independently, but we will also collaborate to revise, refine, and strengthen our presentation materials.

• Lesson 4:

  Review and Revise Presentation

  We will share, review, and revise our drafts of the written components of our presentation, collaborating with our team to refine and strengthen our presentation materials.

• Lesson 5:

  Revise and Practice Presentation

  We will continue to revise our drafts of the written components of our presentation by collaborating with our team to refine and strengthen our presentation materials. We will also practice the revised presentation in our teams to inform further possible revisions.

• Lesson 6:

  Rehearse Presentation

  We will formally rehearse our presentations with other research teams, and we will receive and provide feedback to inform further revisions.

• Lesson 7:

  Finalize Presentation

  Based on the feedback we have received, we will continue to revise our drafts of the written components of our presentation, and we will collaborate with our team to refine and strengthen our presentation materials.

  Option 1: Celebratory Community Event

  We will celebrate our in-depth work by presenting our findings to our community at a celebratory special event.

• Lesson 9:
