Description of Idea

-Directions: Have students get into groups of no more than 5 people and pass out topics (numbered below). Each group’s objective is to create a poster that focuses and details the topic they were given. Students can use their class notes, PowerPoint slides, and their textbooks to provide a decent amount of information. (Activity topics listed below)

Student's Peer & Self Assessment (have each student fill out after all groups have presented):
*Grading Rubric and Scores*
