5-Minute
Presentations
Submit: Turn in a copy of your slides, printed as a 6-slide-per-page handout,
and a write up of your lesson rationale at the beginning of your presentation.
You are not expected to give a handout to the entire class
Value: 10% of final grade
What to do:
Develop a 5-minute lesson on a topic of your choice.
This should be an interactive lesson guided by a particular theory or model.
You will use PowerPoint
(or a similar computer-based medium -- talk to me if you have other ideas)
to aid in presenting this lesson.
In
addition to presenting the lesson during a class period, you will
also turn in a rationale for your lesson that explains the instructional
objectives, the necessary preparations, and how the lesson is guided by a learning theory or model (it's time to go beyond the 9-events) . You may use Gagné's 9 events
of instruction as a guideline, if needed. You’ll also want to relate the
objectives and topic of your lesson to Bloom’s taxonomy.
