Fieldtrip Project Feedback Notes

Fieldtrip presentations Fall 2014 Feedback Notes:

Here are a few suggestions on how to develop a basic structure for your fieldtrip presentation:

 Items you need to provide:

  • A slideshow presentation to document your trip and parts of your destination that would supplement your social studies curriculum;
  • A one-page handout that tells us how you will structure your presentation, what we need to expect and how we will follow your outline. Basically, you just need to list a sequence of events that you have planned to take us on a spoken re-creation of your lesson. You do not need to detail the trip!

Presentation:

  • You will have fifteen minutes to present your lesson and clearly explain how it is connected to EDUC 4552. Not to social studies per se, but to what we have talked about in class, what you have read and how the trip would fit in a social studies unit on your standard of choice. For example, you might want to briefly highlight the parts of your destination that connect to your standards and move into explaining why you think that this trip could enrich your curriculum, how you could incorporate strategies for knowledge acquisition, and knowledge discovery
  • You will have a ten-minute Q&A after you finish your presentation for clarifying questions.
  • All of your materials need to be submitted to your website before your presentation.
  • Here is a copy of the instrument that will be used for running notes during your presentation.

Here is an outline for your final presentation (this is just a suggestion. Feel free to change it and be creative with this process!):

  •  Intro: Distribute handouts here.
  •  A brief intro re: where you went;
  •  Grade and standard that you will address during your presentation;
  •  Why you would take students to your place of choice;
  •  What you would have done prior to the trip to give us contextual background;
  •  What does this fieldtrip have to do with 4552?
  •  Slideshow+(this can be incorporated into the lesson plan walk through);
  •  End with Q&A.
