Students will be able to write a 2-page feature article about a student-selected topic that reflects the journalistic feature elements we have studied in class.

The Presentation Team must present their research, as a group to the class. Each member of the group must speak. You will earn a grade that reflects the accuracy and detail of your research, and the quality of the presentation of your findings. Each student on the group will earn a group collaboration grade. The group collaboration grade will be based on how effectively you perform your role as a member of the group.

Feature Article

Students will break into groups of 4, and be assigned a country. Each student in that group will be responsible for researching one of the following topics for that country: customs, traditions, geography, and current events. Each group will then present thier findings, using visual aids to the class. Each topic should be presented using a two-minute presentation. The group is to then work together to hand in a one page, typed paper describing what they found in each of the four areas. If students want to work in smaller groups, they are allowed, but all four topic must still be covered with a two minute presentation. So, for example, a group of two would have to present 4 minutes of material each.
