Poster presentation, using our speech notes format (linked here): Explain Chinese historical clothing. Your presentation should explore answers to two of the Inquiry Questions at the top of this webpage. Include the inquiry questions on your poster.

Poster design must include:

• maximized use of projector or TV screen space (horizontal orientation)

• hand-created on poster paper, though print resources can be glued or taped onto poster paper

• real images of people wearing Chinese historical clothing, in an order that represents real Chinese history

• for comparison, another example of Chinese historical clothing that we have not yet focused on in class

• display an "authentic text" from our formative readings to read aloud, and then answer questions about, for your Reading score (see below)

• information from our lesson slides that uses that vocabulary (2 items of information)

• information from our formative reading that uses that vocabulary (2 formative readings)

Presentation must include:

• use of opening, transitions, & closing from speech notes format (linked here)

• roughly equal speaking from both presenters (if two people are presenting)

• coherent message 

Scoring is for: 

• Speaking: present information and then answer questions about the content and inquiry tied to your poster and presentation (see rubrics below)

• Reading: read aloud Chinese character sentences (20+ characters) from a text we read in our formative assessments in this unit. The information you read should support the inquiry of your overall presentation. Following your whole presentation, answer questions about the text, including information that you did not directly read aloud in your presentation, but were part of the text we discussed earlier in this unit. In other words, get to know the text we learned in class.

• MYP formative rubrics for speaking and reading (linked here)

• MYP summative rubrics for speaking and reading (linked here)

• What skills did you learn how to do in this unit?

• Cite materials we learned from to explain where you learned these things.

• What useful phrases did you use a lot in this unit?

• What next steps will you follow to research more about the topic in this unit?
