Mr.

Egans Five Steps for Achieving an A+ on this Assignment:

1. Presentation: 10/___ - Professionalism is a must. Speak in clear, strong voices, with confidence. You must teacher your assigned section; of the parts within your assigned section, I will not force you which parts to teach. You must decide which is the most relevant and important. Perhaps most importantly, be prepared! 2. Organization: 10/___ - It is usually pretty obvious when a teacher is unorganized; papers are out of order, nobody knows what they are talking about, they go over the allotted time, etc. Do not do any of these things. Be professional! Make sure you do not go over the time; I will allow you to go one minute early if absolutely necessary, and thirty seconds over the twenty minutes, again if absolutely necessary. 3. Creativity: 10/___ - Be as creative as possible. Go crazy with it, I mean really go out there. The only stipulations (rules) are that it has to remain inside the classroom, it has to be the lesson you are told to teach, it has to be within the twenty minutes, and you have to actually teach the material. However you do it is totally up to you. Maybe divide the students up into different groups, and each group does something different, and each member of the teaching group takes a student group, and teaches a smaller lesson. Or create drawings to illustrate the points presented; create a slideshow; make or modify a game, use note cards. The only limitation is your mind. Extra credit is very possible here. 4. Work Load: 10/___ - Every person should do something in front of your students. Perhaps divide the time up so that each person has an approximately equal amount of time (four students = four minutes apiece, give or take). I need to see that each person is doing something on and off the stage. 5. Test/Assessment: 10/___ - You must create some kind of review/take-away/assessment for the students. A handout, a work sheet, a test, some kind of physical evidence that your students have the information they need, and can and will retain (keep) the knowledge.
