Teach the Teacher




Assignment:  Students will research a specific area of Asian world history and teach the material to the class…and the teacher. 

Guidelines:

1.  Comprehension  Create and present a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation.  As a guideline, my PowerPoint presentations for introducing material are between 5-10 slides. 

2.  Research  Create 12-15 Reading Questions and one other worksheet that covers your material.  You may model yours after the type I give you regularly.  You are free to design your own, as well.  The worksheets can be short biographies, mapping activities, primary resource activities, graphing or chart skill activities.  They can be crosswords with clues or fill-in the blanks.  Provide an answer keys for all.

3.  Assessment  Create a short quiz (8-10 questions).  This can be true/false, multiple choice, matching, and short answer.  A combination is best.  Provide an answer key.

4.  Application  Create a short game that reviews what you taught.  Online games are acceptable.

5.  Extension  Present or demonstrate music, dance, art, or film that people of your section were accustomed to.  This is extra credit only.
