2. The Class Project  Form groups of 3 students.  Your groups will evaluate 11 basketball scenarios (acted out in class by your classmates) and determine what violation was committed.  After creating your list of violations in specific order, you will be responsible for creating a power point presentation.

3. The Power Point Presentation  The slides in your power point must be in the same order as the violations committed on your list.  For each violation, provide a definition, result of the foul, and a visual aid (referee hand signal, example of the violation in action, etc.)

4. Your Slides  Your slides should have a background  You should have a minimum of 6 slides (no more than 2 violations per slide)  Each slide should include a visual aid  Each slide should have a transition animation  Every slide should contain an appropriate heading and be free of spelling and grammar errors
