Team Resources for Presentations

Each team needs to begin doing research for the class presentations. Take notes for the Chapter your team is presenting.

In the AV department, there are video tapes related to each chapter assigned for presentation. You may book a time to view this tape by calling the Learning Centre or reserving the material online.

Another resource available to you is at the MySeneca site for SSC100. Using an Internet Explorer or Netscape browser click on the button (on the left side of the screen) that says Course Supplement. Go to the Chapter that you and your team are exploring. Report back to the class on what you have found there and what might be helpful in planning the presentation.

You may also get a few ideas from the POWER website - there are links for every chapter at this site.

Decide how you are going to review these items.

Class Presentations are scheduled as follows:

Chapter 10 - Decisions/Addictive Substances (also refer to Ch. 14)
Chapter 11 - Academic and Career Choices
Chapter 12 - Money Matters
Chapter 13 - Diversity; Getting Along with Others
Chapter 14 - Enjoying Health and Wellness (Handling Stress and Safety)

Each presentation will be twenty minutes. You may use a variety of activities. Try to make it as interesting and interactive as possible.  Think of an activity that will help get the key ideas from your chapter across to the rest of the class. Be sure to rehearse so that you can do what you want to do in the given time limit. Try to think outside the box - that is - don't just read notes to us or show us overheads that repeat what we can read from the book. Think of a way to get the class involved in doing something that will help them remember the important ideas on this topic.

Team Preparation of Final Exams

This week each team will discuss the final exam they will be preparing. The exam is to cover the material found in the chapter you are presenting.

                                     Keyboard all questions and leave space for answers.
                                     Prepare an answer key for all questions.
