Another student was timing the one minute presentation with an app from his smartphone. The rest of the class is evaluating each presentation, and voting on the best background and presentation to represent their class. Students used the chromebooks to research about their location during class time. Students turned in a page as their written transcript for revision in order to prepare for the oral presentation. The rubric for the project is located at the teacher’s webpage at https://sites.google.com/a/richland2.org/hernandez/Projects/france-spain-trip .
