Grammar Presentation

Directions: Choose a designated chapter in Hacker, Diana. Rules for Writers. 6th ed. Boston:

Bedford/St/Martins, 2009 and design a lesson to present and teach that grammar concept to your peers. This

book is on reserve at the library.

Each presentation must be between 20 – 30 minutes in length. It is imperative that presentations are

given on the assigned date. Your classmates are relying on you to present this information to them!

Grammatical accuracy in regards to chapter and practice activity will be graded. Also teamwork is an

integral component of a global society. All members must equally contribute.

The first part of your presentation must review the concept as it is presented in the chapter.

The second part of your presentation must provide a practice opportunity for the class. This can be in

the form of a worksheet or something of a similar nature.

The third part of your presentation must include some sort of online activity or video to help your

peers either remember the rules of your concept or engage your peers in additional practice of the

concept.

Creativity counts! There are many programs available to present information in novel or new ways.

Some suggestions include Powerpoint with Screencast-O-Matic, Prezi, Storybird, Weebly, Glogster,

Youtube, Animoto, Photostory, Google Forms….the list is endless! Posters, worksheets, board work,

crayons, crafts, games, pen & paper activities are all viable alternatives to using technology.

A – 10 pts. B – 8 pts. C – 7 pts. D – 6 pts. F – 5 pts.
