Poster presentation, using our speech notes format (linked here): Explain regional Chinese cuisine. Your presentation should explore answers to two of the Inquiry Questions at the top of this webpage.

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

• map/s of China, including the map you drew in class

• text to read from for Reading score (formative, then summative), 30+ characters

• 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)

• another cuisine from another region of China that we have not yet focused on in class.

Presentation must include:

• information from our lesson slides

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

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

• coherent message 

• clear understanding of what you said to answer questions for the Listening score (formative, then summative)

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 (30+ 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.
