Hi 4A1, 4A2 & 4A3,
It's been a long time since I posted an update on the blog. I hope everyone has got into the gear of things and ready to start your engine all the way till end of October this year!
Anyway, in this post, I hope to brief all of you about some administrative details with regards to your Social Studies Project (Group) for the topic on Sustaining Economic Development for the Globalising World (Sec 4 Syllabus, Chapter 2).
First and foremost, the breakdown of the 20% is as such:
1. Verbal Presentation (following the "Noose Talkshow" format) - 5%
2. Project Booklet (minimum 10 coloured pages) - 10%
3. Flip Charts/Presentation Aids (at least 2 pieces, to be used during talkshow) - 5%
This brings me to the most important thing which is the Due Date: 04 Mar 2009 (Next Wednesday). All groups must submit their Project Booklet on this date!
Since for this week, I will be missing 4 periods (with 4A1) and 2 periods each (with 4A2 & 4A3) plus I'm cancelling Thursday Remedial this week (26 Feb 09), this will give each class sufficient time to complete your research and to compile your project together. Hence, I will not give any extra extension to the submission date. If I do not get your project by 04th Mar 09, your group grade will be lowered 5% each day.
Next, I will explain my expectations for each of the project:
(a) Verbal Presentation - 5%
- Must be informative and include details related to the topic/country that you're presenting.
- Presenters must be fluent and they must know the content that they will be delivering.
- Extra points will be given for groups who are creative and dress their presenters up following the "Noose Talkshow" format.
(b) Project Booklet - 10%
- This is the most important and the highest component.
- The booklet must be typed and content must show that the group has researched outside their textbooks for e.g. Internet sites and reference books.
- Booklet should include pictures, diagrams, maps or statistics to help with the explanation of the content.
- White papers will NOT be accepted, groups should use coloured papers and once complete, they can either bind it or tie a ribbon around the project.
- The booklet must be a minimum of 10 pages and please include all the references/sources in which the information have been gathered from.
- Finally, please do NOT plagiarise (meaning you take everything from Internet/reference books) and paste exactly to your project. That will get you a Zero straight away.
(c) Flip Charts/Presentation Aids - 5%
- Each group must do at at least be two flip charts.
- Should not consist of too many words but rather include pictures, diagrams, mind maps, statistics any any other things that can help the presenters during their "Noose Talkshow".
- Only to be submitted after the groups have presented their talkshow.
Final advice - You have more than a week to complete this, so please plan your time wisely. Also, there are around 7-9 members for each team, hence you can separate the workload so that each student concentrate on a certain portion before you combine everything together.
Finally, attached in the post below is the compiled groupings for all the classes.
