Objective:  I know the expectations for presenting information with supporting evidence to  my class about a famous figure whom I would like to nominate for one of our class awards with appropriate organization, development, substance, and style appropriate to our purpose, audience, and task (SL4).
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Get out your notebook (I know, been awhile!) and prepare for a Daily Write--remember there are already points in the gradebook for this, so you need to make sure to participate to keep them.
  • DW:  If you were to select one famous figure you look up to, who would it be and why?  Take your time to respond, this may be helpful later!
• Share out 3 examples
  • What's coming--the end of the year: Daily Completion Points, Independent reading due June 1, Final Presentation!
• For your final project you will apply a variety of tools and the knowledge you have learned throughout the year to honor another human in the world for their “best”
• Using the provided template and your Weebly website, you will create a presentation to nominate a lovely human for one of the following awards (and class contest)!
  • Most Admired
  • Most Influential
  • Best Style
  • Best Classmate (this is a secret award)
• Today, you will select the famous figure you want to nominate for one of these awards following these directions.
• There are 10 lists posted around the classroom.  You must start with these lists; in a small group of 3 to go to the number assigned to you.
• Look through the list--you may use your phone to look someone up if you want to know more, but you only have 2-3 min. at each, so if you find someone you are interested in, just jot their name on your list--remember each person will only be used once!  Your reasoning could determine whether or not you get your first choice.  
• Once you have looked at each list, go back to your desk and write your reasoning.
• Exit Task:  Turn in your requests and reasons for nominations.
