Step One: Groups meet to Identify the issues related to their individual articles.

Group members should then record their "Ideas" and reactions to the information shared.

Step Two: Student groups will then go back to the (Link) NYTimes: The Learning Network Activity (Video, Related-Article Reading, JIGSAW Discussion, Building Context for Understanding Chart, Whole-Group Discussion) and focus on Part III: Researching the Solutions. Student groups will decide on assigning follow-up reading in the group's respective domain (i.e. 1. Stop Doing Business in Countries With Poor Safety Records; 2. Improve Safety and Working Conditions;

3. Increase Transparency About Clothing Origins). Each student should engage in a close-read of his/her follow-up "Solution" article, recording findings in the "Solutions" section of the worksheet. Please include topic, headline, and date of "Solutions" article.

Step Three: Group members will meet for a final wrap-up discussion of their "Solution" article and then record reactions in the "My Ideas" section of the worksheet to conclude. This completed worksheet will be collected the next class session.

Step Four: Students groups will then meet to Set-Up, Plan, and Begin work on a Google Presentation about this "Problem-Solution"-based thesis topic. Groups should design a Google Presentation with a distinct Beginning, Middle, and End, which will serve to represent a collaborative approach to the topic: Corporate Irresponsibility? Fashion's Hidden Cost. The presentation should include a title page and a Works Cited page for resources and images used.

Each group member slide should have speaker notes (with in-text documentation) and citation(s) for image and resource used. The slide presentation should be designed in a logical order as each member will be presenting his/her slide to the class. An individual completion/participation grade (20 points) will be assigned for contributions to the group product.

How to Make Rapid and Easy Progress in Learning to Speak in Public:

Speak about something that:

a) You have earned the right to talk about through study and experience

b)You are excited about: and

c) You are eager to tell your listeners about.

Presentation Tips:

1. Make brief notes of the interesting things you want to convey to your audience.

2. Don't write out your presentation in full.

3. Never, never, never memorize a talk word for word

4. Fill your presentation with illustrative examples and visuals.

5. Know far more about your subject than you can use.

6. Rehearse your talk by conversing with your friends and family.

7. Instead of worrying about your delivery, find ways of improving it.

8. Don't imitate others, be yourself!

Adapted from "Speak More Effectively" by Dale Carnegie
