Let's Get Started!
Okay group! Let�s get going!
First, keep in mind that you will be evaluated by the efforts of everyone in
the group. That means everyone must participate and contribute to the group�s
success.
Below are the links to the various documents you must analyze. While analyzing
each document, fill out the corresponding Document Analysis Worksheet, which
can also be found below. For example, if your primary source is a map,
complete the �Map� worksheet! Make sense? If yes, good! If no, ASK!

Checkpoint and Presentation
Now that you have done the research and analyzed the documents, see your
Instructor or classroom Inclusion Specialist for a conference. You will
discuss what you have learned, the worksheets, and the presentation.
Next, get going on that presentation. I know you may have some questions about
this part, so let�s get down to the details!
1. There is no time minimum or limit. Be thorough in your presentation,
but don�t take the entire class period. Share what you have learned
and be sure to address all necessary aspects.
2. So that brings us to the �necessary aspects.� Here�s what you must
include in the presentation �
a. Use a visual aide to show the class what you are talking about
b. Explain how the various documents relate to your section of the
Constitution
c. Explain the documents that you analyzed � what are they, what did
you learn from them?
3. You will be evaluated on your presentation skills, such as:
a. the group�s preparedness,
b. The group�s knowledge over the assigned section of the Constitution
and documents,
c. The group�s confidence during the presentation and effectiveness in
sharing the learned information with classmates.
Who presents the information? That�s up to the group! One strong public
speaker may be in charge of teaching the class, or a small group may share
this responsibility! The choice is in your hands! Just be sure who ever you
pick is prepared!
It is everyone�s job to assemble the presentation, not just the speaker.
Remember, you are being evaluated on the entire group�s participation and
effort.
Finally, each person in the group must write an Individual Reflection.
This should be a one-page reflection addressing the following questions:
1. What did you learn from this activity?
2. Do you think your group worked well together? Did everyone contribute
equally and make a good effort?
3. How did you contribute to your group?
4. Did this type of learning activity help you better understand the
information?
Turn your paper into the tray or e-mail it to your Instructor.
