Class Presentations on Period 4 3rd December, Period 5 4th December and Period 6 07th December.
Grades may be emailed to parents.
You will be marked on: 1. Content; 2. Delivery; 3. Presentation materials used and uploaded onto Edmodo and 4. Group Work. You will get Achieved, Merit or Excellence for each of the four areas, and to gain an Excellence grade you will need to get Excellence in three areas and at least Merit in the fourth.

1. Get a group of 1 to 4 people. Groups of 1 can not gain Excellence.
2. Choose a topic relating to Probability or From the Year 8 Project. For example The Monty Hall Problem.
3. You must research the topic. For example When/How/Why/Who/What.
4. Your job is to teach the rest of the class by way of 10 minute presentation including a data display.
5. Load your presentation materials in to edmodo class web site.
6. Present it in a fun way to the class and teach everyone something new. When you teach your peers you are Participating and Contributing. When you work in a group you are Relating to Others.
7. Get a friend to video your presentation and place it on the class edmodo site too!
8. Depth of learning and peer tuition is the aim - not just a bit of FUN!
