Grade 5 students just completed Power Point presentations addressing "How the Earth is Constantly Changing" using topics ranging from Pangaea and Sea Floor Spreading to Earthquakes and Volcanoes to Maine Rocks and Earth's Structure. The hardest part for them was citing sources. Even though they were given notetaking papers with all of the information needed to write the citation, the students had a difficult time understanding the need for this in their presentation. It was also the first time they had to do it in a research project, so we will continue to stress the importance of giving credit where due. This will be a major focus of their next big project for Social Studies - Colony Quest. One positive note about these presentations was that students garnered the importance of presenting the essential information and having it look good (no grammer or spelling errors, etc.)
