2013- Orth
- In groups of 3 you will
conduct online
- create a poster as described
below
- give a 2-5 min group
presentation that summarizes the pros & cons of the
environmental/economic issues related to your energy resource.
- Your group members will
conduct basic research on the other energy resources being presented in
class and create at least one question for every other group presenting.
- use evidence from your
research to support answers to questions asked about your energy
resource.
- Poster, poster should have each of the
following to earn more than 70% (200
CW/HW pts group grade: 150 P + 50 WC).
·
<70%-Diagram of how the energy resource
is used to produce electricity.
·
Summary
of the three most important environmental AND
economic pros/cons
·
<80%-Legislation and/or Societal impact
·
<90%-Include relevant clear images of at
least three additional interesting facts, statistics, graphs, comparisons… for
your energy resource in addition to the
·
summary
above.
·
Attention
to detail should include an easy to read clearly printed summaries, accuracy of
information, works cited and diagrams that use color/keys.
·
Divide
up the work I will observe you in participation on all aspects of the
conference and grade you based only on what I see. You will need to do work outside of class,
but I grade on what I see in class!
- Questions:
(100 pt CW/HW individual grade)
Your group will need to prepare questions for
each of the other groups about how their energy resource CONS will affect the
environment, health and economy. Each
member of your table must think of two questions minimum that can be asked of the other energy
resource groups. Divide up the other
groups so that your group does not ask any one other group more than two
questions. No credit for any questions
that can be answered yes or no.
·
Do
not ask any questions that can be answered with a yes or a no.
·
Use
other group’s posters and prior research on other topics to come up with
powerful questions. I will award bonus
points for powerful thought out questions.
·
I
will deduct points for: questions asked that are obviously answered on by
looking at their poster or were presented during the group summary.
Conference
Format (200 Test/quizes pts.-
group grade).
- 5 Minute Introduction your group should present how
the energy source produces electricity and summarize the PROS of the
Energy resource. No questions may
be asked, yet, and the maximum five-minute time limit will be enforced.
- Questions: all
conference members
will take turns asking their pre-generated questions about the cons of
other group’s energy resource. The
group asked a question will have 30 seconds
- Repeat process until every student
participating has asked at least one question.
- Free form questions any remaining time will be used
to ask pre-generated questions or new questions about any of the energy
resources pro or con. Students that
answer with evidence and well thought powerful questions will earn extra
credit. I will deduct points for repeat questions, yes/no answers, asking
something obviously present on the poster
