GROUP SELECTION

• Students must be grouped in sets of fours
• Each group must assign responsibilities
• Group Leader
• Group Reporter
• Group Researcher
• Group Illustrator
• Write all group members names on a sheet of paper.

23
GROUP RESPONSIBILITIES

• The responsibilities of a
• GROUP LEADER is to ensure that the group stays on
  task and completes the objective.
• GROUP REPORTER is to document the work being done
  within the group so that it may be turned in for
  a grade.
• GROUP RESEARCHER is to gather /compile all
  information that must be investigated.
• GROUP ILLUSTRATOR must develop visual aids,
  drawings, and diagrams for the group.

24
GROUP ACTIVITY Graphic Organizers

• Groups will be responsible for defining three
  Core Technologies using a graphic organizer to
  display applications associated with those
  technologies.
• Students must engage in dialog with their group
  members to exchange a flow of ideas about the
  applications of technologies and their impacts on
  society.
• Each group is expected to display a poster board
  that captures their group discussions and graphic
  organizers so that the class may learn from the
  individual groups.

25
ASSIGNMENT

• Students/groups are expected to present their
  posters to the class and express the ideas that
  were challenging in this exercise.
• Each group must participate in the wrap-up
  activity in order to receive a grade. All group
  members must have some input into the
  presentation in order to receive maximum credit.
  
• Groups are expected to answer questions presented
  to them by the teacher or class.
