Hello All!
Today in your student's folder you'll find a paper that says "Teach the Teacher".
This is an end-of-year fun project where the students get to TEACH others about something they are passionate about! This project is meant to be fun, not stressful, and can be as simple or complex as your child would like to make it.
The paper says "5 min presentation" - This is mostly a guideline for the talking time. Their talking shouldn't go longer than 5 minutes, but the activity/involvement parts could take more time and that is OK.
This is DUE on FRIDAY, JUNE 8TH. This is meant to be a fun project, but it will be graded (for presentation and preparation).
There are directions on the sheet, but to further explain, here is what I'm expecting:
1. Choose Topic:
The student picks something they already know about (this is not supposed to be a research project!)
2. Present:
They may decide how they would like to present their information to the class. Be creative! Anything goes here... However, it has to be able to be shown/done in school. Ie: can't teach about how to play video games because we do not have them at school. Examples of how they can present:

1. Choose Topic:

- Lots of options here - anything (appropriate) goes! How to ______, Making a ______, Steps to drawing a ________, All about ___________, Showing any activity/skill, etc.
2. Present:
They may decide how they would like to present their information to the class. Be creative! Anything goes here... However, it has to be able to be shown/done in school. Ie: can't teach about how to play video games because we do not have them at school. Examples of how they can present:
- Speaking presentation & demonstration with props
- Use a PowerPoint to assist during presentation
- Make a video of self teaching the topic
- Write a book about it and read it to the class
- Any other things you can think of!
3. Materials:
They may use anything they can normally use in our classroom (art supplies, paper, markers, books, etc.) They are also welcome to bring in any supplies needed. If students would like any copies of papers, if they bring in one or email me one I can make copies of them for the class.
4. Participation:
The best presentations usually have some sort of class involvement. They can bring in materials for students to use to make their own, we can go outside to participate in an activity (weather permitting), whatever they need that we can provide at school!
5. Quiz:
The paper guideline asks for at least one "quiz" question. That's all that is required, but I have had other students make up their on "exit ticket" or quiz for students to answer, or do a verbal quiz after their presentation, etc. Again, I can make copies if they would like to do this! They usually have fun "grading" everyone - including my paper! - afterward.
Here is the paper if you need another copy, and here is a link to a digital version if they would like to type their information.
Please let me know if you have questions! I look forward to learning from your kiddos!
