Students will take turns being the actual contributor in terms of keying in group member responses. Each group will  be asked to contribute to other groups' responses (at least 1-2).
Part II: The prompt of What does an effective presentation look like and include?  will be given to the students. Again, students will asked to react to the prompt with words, skills, or concepts.  Students will rotate the role related to the keying in of responses of the group. Students will be asked to comment on other groups contributions (at least 1-2).
Part II: At the end of this lesson, all ideas will be shown to the class as a whole.  The teacher will prompt a discussion about answers given to the two prompts and ask the students how all of the responses are connected.  The teacher can also question the students about what is surprising and what is still missing from the items, ideas, and concepts that were brainstormed.
