(vocabulary or names related to your topic that they may not be familiar

• explain each photo to the class during the presentation
student/facilitator : You will…
• generate at least 7 difficult critical thinking questions that a curious student
might ask about your topic.
• have these questions stamped by me, and then do research to find the answers. Write the
detailed answer below each question either on your poster or on your PowerPoint slide(s).
• discuss these questions and answers during your group's presentation (Word to the Wise:
During your presentation, it is often a good idea to ask the class these questions, allow
volunteers to answer, and then reveal your findings.)

Collaboration Ideas:
• Work together during class in the computer lab (Thurs. the 16th and Fri. the

changes (this requires each group member to have or create a free Gmail
account).
• Meet as a group at Herrick District Library over the weekend.
