Components of Summative Assessment Group Presentation Written Reflection Each group will compile a shared Powerpoint (or other) presentation which touches on some/all of the aspects outlined in the following slides. Each member is responsible for one aspect of the slideshow. They will create one slide to contribute to the slideshow and then a 5 minute presentation to align with the slide. Every student will submit an individual written reflection of 250 – 500 words that follows the template provided. This will be due on the same day as presentations.

Slide Options Choose one slide to contribute to the group presentation. While you will be compiling some information for the slide, remember that this is only a marker for you and your audience. Your actual presentation will need to be in greater depth and detail. Each member should plan for 5 minutes of discussion. Think about choosing the aspect of the text that you can speak to most comfortably and confidently for that amount of time. The slides that follow, outline the different options and some possibilities for presentation. You are not limited to these are are encouraged to think creatively about how you can best present your ideas to the class.
