Step 1: Team work
To produce a successful project, your team needs to work productively and cooperatively. Therefore, roles and tasks within the team need to be allocated equally and fairly. Furthermore, good team work requires effort and constant evaluation. Use the checklist below to reflect on how well you and your team are progressing throughout the project.

Step 2: Develop research questions
Once your team has selected a topic you are required to develop key research questions to guide your research. To help you construct appropriate questions complete the following table.
Step 3: Gather information
Begin researching your topic and collecting information. Ensure you keep a record of all sources used.
***Any other information need on how to properly cite information should be directed to the following website: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/
Step 4: Synthesis of research
Take notes from the sources you have collected. Make sure that you always use your own words. Use a dictionary to help you understand any new terminology you may come across. All members of the team need help each other develop a thorough understanding of the topic and ensure that the research questions are being answered.
Step 5: Poster
Produce the poster. Make sure that the layout is logical and eye-catching and includes a border, bold heading, sub headings, relevant diagrams and labels.
Step 6: Oral presentation
Organise the oral presentation. You must prepare cue cards and include relevant visuals to engage the audience. Remember to practice.
Step 7: Evaluation
Once your team has submitted the poster and presented the oral presentation, Mr. Hart will need to evaluate the performance. A Grade Rubric will be completed for your poster and for your Oral Presentation.
Step 8: Reflection (Extra Credit)
Finally, you need to write a diary entry on how well you worked within your team by answering the following questions:
How did I contribute to the team?
What team work skills did I demonstrate?
How can I improve my team work skills?
