Leading up to the presentation day, due to time constraints, I asked for 7 volunteers from my homeroom to present to the principal. Lots of hands went up and I picked one/two from each group. The presentation set up was very simple. All the ideas that had been discussed were put together on Google Slides. The students self selected which slides they wanted to present and went home to memorize their information.
The day finally arrived during the last week of school on a Tuesday at 9:00am. The principal wasn’t aware of this project and was just told that the students had prepared something. She came in and sat in the middle of the class while the 3rd and 4th grade students presented their data. The students did an amazing job! They had obviously gone home and studied their slides and were very confident in their arguments. At last, we finished the last slide and the principal started asking her questions. The students referred back to their premise and used the anecdotal notes shared in class. [See the video below for the whole presentation and questioning.]
