Grade 12 IB: Weekend Homework (due by midnight Sunday, October 3rd and midnight Monday, October 4th)

Interactice oral presentations will take place October 18th and 22nd. This weekend, decide on a topic with your group. Note that this weekend's blog assignment has several due dates.

1. By midnight on Sunday one representative from your group must post to explain the topic you have chosen. Please describe the topic, how you chose it, and how you will go about researching for it (i.e. what types of resources do you expect to use and why?).

2. By midnight on Monday the rest of the group members must post in response to other groups' topics. Give the other groups comments, questions, and anything else to think about. If you have recently come across an article that you think may be pertinent, link that group up to the article. Note that comments such as "The project looks great" will not receive credit. You must be critical and thoughtful in a way that will help your classmates.

A little confused? Take this example: Federico posts about 200 words on Sunday explaining what he, Angelica, and Dusan have chosen for their topic. Then, on Monday, Riccardo and Giulio respond to Federico's post giving him suggestions about how his group can narrow down their topic.

Still confused? Email me.

    Topic: Effects of World of Warcraft on people.

    We came up with this idea because a lot of our friends use to play this game. This game is really addictive and that can be a good example for later discussion on addictive games.
    In order to develop the research we will look on internet but we can also do some kind of interviews in our school since there are a lot of boys and girls that are playing this game. We can ask them for their opinion, and also how they changed from the day when they started playing this game; did their habits change? what about their daily activities?
    This is very interesting topic and we will enjoy in this presentation.

  2. Me, Federico N., and Dusan have decided to choose "The Rock Music Movement" as our oral presentation topic.
