This document provides instructions for student groups to create presentations on different topics related to German culture. It outlines the key elements that make for a good presentation such as an introduction, conclusion, multiple slides per person, images, graphs, and both text and speaking. Students are asked to determine what content from their reading they will cover, additional information needed, and who will be responsible for each part of the project. The goal is for students to gain confidence through public speaking, learn effective collaboration skills, and increase their understanding of international topics and responsible citizenship.
