Now getting together as a team, you will share your findings with all your team members. It is essential to learn about your country in 4 different perspectives. Take turns to present your research outcome to your team members for 15 minutes each. Have time for the questions and answers at the end of each presentation. What you learn from this sharing time will be assessed by ‘Thinkers’ Keys’ after closing the exhibition. You may refer to the rubric on the page of ‘EVALUATION’.
After combining your findings, you will now plan how you will present all your ideas in your exhibition. Your goal as a team is to set up your country booth. There you will provide sufficient information about your country and an explanation of how your country’s culture is distinctively different from other countries. Bear in mind that your tasks should be focused on the key question on the page of INTRODUCTION.
Regarding how to set up the booth, you may refer to the peer assessment rubric which you will be assessed by accordingly. Use the rubric to help you with the organisation of your country's exhibition booth. Analyse the criteria to help you build a successful, engaging and vibrant booth. The peer assessment rubric will help you identify what areas you may be lacking in. Look at the peer assessment criteria as a resource to help you build your finished product.
Here are some ideas that may help you decide with how you will present your country: You may choose to, play music, wear costumes, use literature, stories, or language phrases, use crafts and activities, display charts, multimedia products, decorations, have traditional foods and recipes. Additionally you can ask yourselves questions like; what decorations you will have on show? What costumes you will wear? Will you have a power point/video clip of how you spent your daily life in your country? Will you have the traditional music in the background? Will your information be displayed on a poster board? How will you set up your stall? Maybe a temple or a mountain full of ice; the choice is yours! It is up to you to decide how your working group wants to present their ideas. Also be prepared to have questions asked about your country, so each specialist will need to have a great understanding and knowledge in their expertise area.
Make sure to equally share the responsibility when planning and preparing for your exhibition. Your individual efforts, along with your team work will be measured by a questionnaire at the end of the exhibition. Also your communication and time management skills will be assessed. You may refer to the questionnaire on the page of ‘EVALUATION.’
Step 4: Presentation
As a group, you should now have worked out how you will present your creative ideas to the class. You will be given 2 hours a day for a week to set up your booth. As you begin to work on your booth, you will keep your original plan done by your team. At times you will want to adjust the plan, depending on your team resource, availability, limited time and perhaps limited space in the exhibition venue. Keep this in mind that communication within the team is crucial whenever changes are made.
On the day of exhibition you will be given half-day to display and present all your work. Each group will take turns to come around and visit each booth of other countries as visitors. Visitors may ask questions and get involved in your planned activities. Also they may give you constructive feedback about your booth. Above all, each group will assess one other group according to the peer assessment sheet as they go around as visitors. Your group to assess/be assessed by will be assigned on the day of exhibition by your teacher.
