Lesson 6: Oral Presentation
Handout 2

Social Action Night Presentation

Each student will create a tri-fold board which will visually represent the activities of the organization that has been researched. The center panel should display the name, mission/ purpose of the organization and a picture (photograph or drawing) illustrating the activities of the organization. The left-hand side should display the history of the organization and should include a time-line from the organization’s inception to the present. The right-hand side should display graphs and charts about fundraising data and the group’s expenditures. The science experiment should be posted below the graphs.

In addition, the student will prepare a five-to-eight-minute speech about the project and his or her experiences volunteering for this cause. The presentation should include the video, photographs or slide show from the social studies portion of this project.
