Scholastic Article – History of Islam You will divide yourselves in 6 separate groups. Groups should have no more than 5 members in them. You will be assigned a section of the article for your group to specifically focus on. You and your group members will read your section only, and create a brief power point or Prezi summarizing and highlighting key information from the article. You and your group will present your presentation on Friday in class.

Criteria For Success Your slides should not contain “walls of text”, but bullet points with easy to read information. Use of visuals would be helpful. Focus on the big ideas and main topics of your section, what info is the most essential? Your Power Point or Prezi needs to be completed and shared with me by Friday, no excuses or exceptions You will be graded on the slide’s content and your presentation skills The entire group will share a grade, you either all do well, or all do poorly.
