ECSE 3220 Group Project and PowerPoint Presentation Assignment
(General Information for All Groups and Group Members)

The group project and PowerPoint presentation assignment will be developed using the Georgia Curriculum Standards for first, second, or third grades.  All members of the group will develop and present their group project to the class.  Since there will be several group presentations, each group will present for about 15 minutes.   Group projects will be presented on exam day.

The group project will be based on a provided scenario of a class with a different class scenario for each group.  The class scenario will identify a grade level; content area; (the class includes three different students) a diverse student; a student with special needs; and a student with a problem behavior. 

Each member of the group will have an individual topic assignment to provide the information to develop for their group project.  See below the individual topic assignments listed for members 1-5.  Each member of the group will develop an individual topic assignment paper, a Word document, to be turned in as hard copy on the due date for individual reports.

This group project assignment will include two grades of 100% each, one grade for the individual topic assignment and one grade for the group presentation (total possible grade of 200%).  The individual topic assignment grade will be earned by each individual member of the group for their individual topic assignment paper.  The group presentation grade will be earned by the entire group and each member of the group will receive the group grade.

When working in groups, it is important for all members of the group to contribute to the group's assignment and presentation.  I will ask all members of the group to give an evaluation of the contribution of the other members in their group.

Group Project and Presentation Process
A.  Group to Selecting Georgia Curriculum Standard

B.  Developing Individual Topic Assignment

  • Each group member will have a different assignment for their individual topic assignment from the list below (Individual Topic Assignments for Members # 1-5). Each individual member will be responsible for developing the information for their group's project.
  • Each member of the group will develop a paper (Word document) of their individual topic assignment. (See due date posted at top of page)

C.  Group PowerPoint Presentation

*        After the individual reports are completed, the group members will meet together and bring their completed individual topic assignments to develop the group's PowerPoint presentation.  Each member of the group should have their individual assignments completed and have selected the main points from their Word document for their slides in the presentation. 

*       Each member of the group will two slides in the group's PowerPoint presentation. 

o    The two slides of each group member should be the main points of their individual topic assignment that includes all subsections: a. 1 & 2, b. 1 & 2, c. 1 & 2, & d. 1 & 2 

o   Please note: your Word document should include details for all of your answers to your individual topic assignment.  Although you are only going to select the main points for each of your PowerPoint slides, you will present and briefly explain your individual assignment subsections:

D. Developing the PowerPoint Group Presentation

*         1st PowerPoint Slide for Group Presentation: Your group will need to include in the PowerPoint presentation a title page with an image and list all five members by the numbers of their Individual Assignment Section.

*         2nd PowerPoint Slide for Group Presentation: Your group will also need to develop a second PowerPoint slide that gives a brief descripton of your scenario class and the Georgia Curriculum Standard that your group selected.  

*         3rd-12th PowerPoint Slides for Group Presentation: Each group will have 10 slides from group members with the main points of their individual topic assignment (two slides from each group member).  All group members will assist in the development of the PowerPoint presentation.  (If you have 4 members in your group then your group will have a total of 10 PowerPoint slides.)

*         Total of 12 PowerPoint Slides for Group Presentation: See descriptions above.

*         Each group member must present their two individual topic assignment slides during their group's PowerPoint presentation.
