The first step to completing this assignment is to use the software in order to access information about your topic. When doing this, try to take advantage of the different formats you saw during the demonstration (i.e., videos, oral readings, etc.). You are to select only the main ideas about your topic. If you have taken more than one page of notes on a topic, you have probably gone further than just the main ideas.

When you have finished obtaining all of the information you need from the software, your group will then need to decide how you would like to present the information to the class. You can choose any method you like. Some suggestions:

• Write a news broadcast
• Create a mock interview of a prominent Chinese figure about your topic
• Present your information in an outline format on poster board and teach the class
• Write a song about your topic

Before your presentation you will need to generate three quiz questions about your topic. They will be used on a quiz that will be given the day after the presentations are completed. This means that not only do you need to write quiz questions, but that you will need to take notes during the presentations so that you can study for the quiz.

You will be graded on the following:

• Your ability to work together as a group: 20%

• Your ability to select main ideas from a large base of information: 30%

• Presentation: 40%

• Production of 3 quiz questions: 10%

Your quiz grade will be counted as separate from your presentation grade.
