Pros

  • Provides several graphic organizers that require students to note down all of the information required for the research and presentation
  • Includes two different rubrics; one for the unit as a whole and one for the final project

Cons

  • The pages are slightly off and lines for name and period are on the bottom rather than the top of the page

  • Watch out for a typo here and there
