Assessment: Portfolio
You have two choices in this lesson:
Option One: Present your academic argument to an audience of your choice (adult).
What to turn in:
1. Have your adult audience complete, sign and provide a working phone number on the 'Audience Rubric.'
Option Two: Record yourself presenting your academic argument.
What to turn in:
1. Your recording (NOTE: it does not fit into the course drop box. Currently do not have a suggestion for how you can turn in a recording, despite what the lesson instructions say. If you can figure out how to record yourself and get it to me, please let me know!!.)
2. Your typed academic argument
3. A reflection paragraph answering the questions under 'Step 2' on slide 6.
4. The PowerPoint (or other presentation software) you created for your presentation
So, just to recap, option one asks you to turn in one item, and option two asks for four
They are both worth the same amount of points.
Chose wisely.
