You will present your ideas as a group. Every group member will have a speaking part in the presentation. Make your presentations energetic, creative, and informative. Use visuals such as posters or the whiteboard. You are encouraged to use media such as PowerPoint or Prezi. These are not required, but can certainly aid in your presentation’s effectiveness.
