Instructional Ideas

• Work with the class to develop a rubric to evaluate the presentations
• Have the groups create a poster presentation that provides all the information to defend their decisions

Classroom Considerations

• Teams should have a large-scale cutout of their caverns to place on the big map for their presentation
• The seventh activity in an unit of eight

Pros

• The resource contains a set of guidelines for the presentation
• The handouts also come as Word documents that allow for easy editing

Cons

• Very little structure provided for the presentations
