Partner Presentation

Name: __________________
Class: __________________
Date: ___________________

In groups of 2 you will create a presentation on about functional written responses. You may
choose the groups however, I caution who you choose because there will be no extensions on this
assignment. No extensions means that if a group member is not doing the work it will be up to
the other members to complete it. Choose wisely.

Group Member: _____________________________________________________________

Content for the presentation should revolve around functional written responses.
Things to think about when choosing your topic:

What elements make a good written response?

What makes a written response bad?
How do you create a thesis statement?
Where do you use a thesis statement?
When do you use a thesis statement?
What is the importance of a properly addressed envelope?

Required elements for this project:

2-5 minute group presentation

Engagement of the audience
Minimum of 2 sources within your research

Do not panic about group marks! You will receive both a group mark and an individual mark.
Group marks will be given for the presentation, information and handout. Individual marks will
be given for speaking and working well with the group. There will also be a group peerassessment where you will have a chance to grade your group member(s).

Due: Tuesday, December 6th 2016
