1. Students will be required to orally explain their cave paintings. Volunteers will go present first, however, when the volunteers run out, I will randomly select students to present their narrative as well as their drawings, which will be used as a visual aid. Students will be allowed one 3x5 note card (if necessary), however they will only be allowed to write notes on them not their entire speech. The note card (if used), cave painting, and typed narrative will be turned in immediately following the presentation. Students will be graded on connection of drawing and narrative to everyday life of pre-historic humans (as discussed in social studies and language arts class), delivery of oral presentation, spelling and organization of narrative, use of elements of non-fiction throughout the drawing, and use of elements of non- fiction throughout the narrative. Students will also be asked to evaluate their peers during this presentation on loose leaf paper. They will have to answer: What were 2 strengths of (Student Name)’s presentation? What was one thing they could do to improve their presentation? These will be factored into their grade, and they will be informed that any in appropriate comments on the peer evaluations will not be tolerated and will result in a letter grade penalty (if you earned a B, you will get a C if you write any in appropriate comments concerning classmate on their presentation).
