Culmination Classwork Week Sixteen: December 4 – December 8 Due: Final Draft of Digital Presentation, December 16 Directions: Throughout this week, you will work individually and collectively in complex
instruction groups to prepare for culmination, and finalize projects. Please, prepare
to be here each day, and complete each activity to the best of your ability. We are
close to the end of our first semester.
During this week, you will create a group presentation, in your culmination CI
groups, to create a formative assessment for English class, which will be turned into
a summative assessment in your science class the following week. The slides
should be written on paper, with complete information, evaluated by Mr. Palmer, and
then turned into a PowerPoint presentation with Ms. Barba next week. Please, follow
the slide information listed below.
