Part 1: Group Presentation

Participate in a research team to create a 5–7 minute presentation about global, national, and local change agents and the conditions that caused or allowed change in one of the following pathways: technological, cultural, business and marketing, humanitarian, political, or scientific.

In your presentation, be sure to do the following:

• Cite evidence from the credible sources that helped you answer your inquiry questions and develop your conclusions.

• Use language and communication strategies to engage your audience.

• Respond to questions from your audience respectfully and knowledgeably.

See the Foundation Unit Research and Presentation Guide for possible ideas for presentation formats.
