Week of 11/09

Your group’s task is to explore the organization and to create a three to four minute presentation to inform your class of the organization and what they are doing to stop modern day slavery. I would like the group to create a poster highlighting the key points of the organization using the guiding questions (see below).

Each group will have a five minute slot to give their presentation. All group members will be expected to participate and verbally share during the presentation. The group will present for three to four minutes and the floor will then be opened for questions for one to two minutes. A stopwatch will be used to ensure times.
