Dear Class:

Today is final day for Period 2

Period 1

Period 5

Make sure your final is in your shared folder with me.  If I cannot see it, the grade that your group gives you will be cut in half.  If you share it afterward and I see it after I have graded the rest of the class, you will be docked 15 points.

1.  One student will present.  The other three will take the sheet and grade the PowerPoint together.  Put your names on it.

2.  Put a check mark for every slide that is there.

3.  For the Conventions, Organization & Structure, Presentation Appeal, and Presentation & Performance, the point score is the total points even if you have to consider two or three parts to it.

4.  On the Comments at the end, put down any extra slides that are for extra credit.  If a student put extra slides for information that was on the Final PowerPoint Instructions that are not reflected on the checked off boxes above, then I want it accounted for here.  (This does not include 2-3 slides for the same information on the checked boxes!)

5.  Please add up the total points.  I will do the final calculation for your designated grade.
