  •  Formal presentations could include Powerpoint, Prezi, or interactive modes presented to a group of listeners by an individual or group of individuals.

    • Presenters in this type of presentation must maintain appropriate eye contact, volume, tone, etc.

    • In group presentations, equal contributions should be evident.

  • Informal presentations are typically the most natural presentations and allow the speaker(s) to express their ideas to their listeners in a relaxed manner.

    • Presenters in this type of presentation, while not having had much preparation time, should still attempt to maintain appropriate eye contact, volume, tone, etc.

    • In group presentations, though rare at the informal level, equal contributions should still be evident.

  • Textual evidence includes references to primary and secondary sources addressing claims and opinions to support the main idea(s).

  • Visual evidence could include photographs, charts, graphs, diagrams, or other visual representations of material presenting claims and opinions that support the main idea(s).

  • The goal here is for students to effectively communicate.  Regardless of whether the presentation is formal or informal, the presenter(s) must communicate in an effective manner so the listener understands the message.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
