20 Min Presentation

Objective: To educate my peers on one of the answers of my essential question - conceptual design but most importantly theme and graphic unifiers which are a crucial part of conceptual design.

Procedure:
  1. Before I begin presenting the content of my presentation, I will divide the class into groups of 3 (There should be 9 groups) and I will hand each group a few yearbook spreads that I have created (every group will receive the same ones).
  2. I will begin my presentation by asking the class what they think the purpose of a theme in a yearbook is. (0:45)
  3. I will then start my powerpoint. (0:30)
  4. First up is my introduction that states my essential question and the answers I have so far. (1:00)
  5. I will then briefly explain conceptual design, then theme and then graphic unifiers. Since my topic is more design based I wanted to focus on the deisgn aspect of a yearbook theme. (3:00)
  6. I will then explain what graphic unifiers are by giving some examples. (1:30)
  7. The next slide is a quick check for understanding. The question I will ask is "what have been the graphic unifiers used throughout this presentation?" and I will briefly go over the answers. (3:00)
  8. Then I will begin my activity. My activity is to have each group look at the yearbook spreads (actual ones from this year) and ask them to guess what they think the graphic unifiers are. (5:00)
  9. I will then go over the answers and conclude my presentation. (2:00)
Total Approx. Time: 16:45


Check for Understanding:

I have to ways of checking for understanding in my presentation. The first one I have is when I ask the question "what are the graphic unifiers used throughout this presentation" and the second is my activity. For my activity, there will be nine groups of three and they will all be given the task of determining what are the graphic elements/unifiers in the 2011 globe.

Resources/Materials
  • 9 copies of the five yearbook spreads I will be showing them for my activity.
  • A laptop computer (my own)
  • A projector and screen
