Performance Task Activity
As a class students will be responsible for presenting our world as a vacation spot to a group of Aliens. In order to do this, all of the work will need to be done as a class, in groups, and individually. As a class students will be partaking in brief lectures, discussions, and readings. Each group will have a specific assignment and guidelines for that assignment whether it is creating a map, a brochure, a powerpoint, or a travel itinerary. Individually students will be preparing persuasive essays and presentations to deliver to the Aliens. Below is the activity layout as well as an individual observation checklist.
