Group Project

1. Set up your bracket on a poster, click HERE to see how to create your bracket based on the number of achievements your group has.

2. Have the bracketologist with the next birthday make a copy of THIS GRAPHIC ORGANIZER and share with your team mates to help you organize your ideas.

3. "PRE-SEASON POLL" Each bracketologist should record their prediction of what achievement they think has had the greatest impact on society in the group graphic organizer (linked above).

4. "LET THE MADNESS BEGIN" In your group, debate each of the first round match-ups. Record notes on each of the match-ups in the graphic organizer (linked above). To determine the winner follow each team should:

• The expert in charge of Achievement 1 should present why this achievement had such a large impact on the world to the entire group.
• The expert in charge of Achievement 2 should present why this achieveement had such a large impact on the world to the entire group.
• The entire group will vote on which achievement they think is the winner. If there is no majority reached, each expert will roll a die and whatever expert rolls the higher number will win.

5. "WE ARE STILL DANCING..." The achievements that make it past the first round debates will then be entered into the second and third rounds. Each group should continue filling out their bracket/poster by having discussions on each of the following match ups.

6. "THE FINAL SHOWDOWN" When you have gotten to your championship match-up, your group is going to want to take some notes on what happened here in the graphic organizer (linked above).

7. CREATE YOUR PODCAST Now that you have determined your winner and taken some notes on the process, it is time to share it with the world! Use your graphic organizer to organize your ideas into your podcast. Remember you want to make your podcast a conversation and keep it flowing naturally. It should not be statements from each person individually.
