Group presentations should:  include an introduction to the group, and to the various parts of the presentation  critically analyze a defined issue  show evidence of background knowledge obtained from a range of sources  present well-balanced arguments

Group presentations should:  draw appropriate conclusions  have a coherent structure  provide clarity of explanation (use of audio- visual aids is encouraged)  include some presentation from each individual member of the group  adhere to the specified time limit

 Reflective Writing - a practice in which the writer describes a real or imaginal scene, event, interaction, passing thought, memory, form, adding a personal reflection on the meaning of the item or incident, thought, feeling, emotion, or situation in his or her life.  Many reflective writers keep in mind guiding questions, such as "What did I notice?" "How has this changed me?" or "What might I have done differently?”  The focus is on writing that is not merely descriptive. Revisit the scene to note details and emotions, reflect on meaning, examine what went well or revealed a need for additional learning, and relate what transpired to the rest of life.
