Unit test- Be the Teacher project

This will be a test grade and you will complete most of the work while in class, but
are free to brainstorm and make your plan before arriving on test day. But you must
rewrite your responses and lesson during class. You may not use your notes, but
must be able to explain topics because of your own understanding. You may ask me
and others questions about understanding up until the test day.
For this project you will be asked to make a plan to explain three topics as if you
were teaching them to a student that has no knowledge of the topic. You will not
actually be teaching this to another person, but you need to explain every step
thoroughly, as if you were. I expect you to fully explain each concept given to you.
On the review day you will randomly select 3 topics and you will be given until the
end of the testing day to turn in your work. You must provide 5 examples for each
topic, they cannot be examples that I have given you in class. I expect you to write
up a logical plan of action of how you will explain the given topics. You will need to
right in full and complete sentences for your explanations.
