Case: Group presentations After my class completes a group project I usually ask who wants to present/speak out of the group then after the student presents I ask if the others wanted to add anything. Is this the right way to go about presentations or should I have everyone say something? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Some of the solutions on this post have touched on having everyone participate during presentation as opposed to what the original poster was doing, but I wanted to touch a little more on why this is a good idea. Forcing students to speak during a group presentation ensures equal participation among the group, as opposed to letting one student carry the team. Many students dislike being part of a group where certain people don't participate, and is seen as unfair. If a teacher doesn't have their students report their contribution to the team either, then having only one person talk means that the teacher has no indication of how equally the work is distributed. Having one student do all the work is highly unfair in a group project. This approach also forces more reclusive or shy students to break their shell, if only for a few minutes. This is a good way to slowly build their social and public speaking skills, and it never hurts to simultaneously build academic skills and skills that aren't taught in school. These students will need some amount of social skills in the future anyways, so forcing them to talk now will help them in the future. |
