The Five Minute Presentation Revised Rubric
Why Revise the Rubric? • The average performance on 71 five-minute presentations in grades 7-8 (80) is 5 points higher than the average of the class average of all students (75) who did five minute presentations in the sample. • That’s too high.
Why Revise the Rubric? • Correlation coefficient between scores on presentations and class average in the sample is only 0.43 (strong cor. Would be >0.60). • This means there is almost no connection between the two – these scores are inflated. The current rubric does not reflect state standards • Class averages do – correlation coefficient of 0.84.
What was weak about the old rubric? • Did not evaluate quality of research. • Did not evaluate quality of analysis. • Did not hold high standard for visual aids.(PowerPoint).
What’s changed? • Basically, what was a level 5 (94 or 100) is now a low level 4 (78). • Some people were already performing at this level, but 100 was the maximum available score.) • Public speaking counts more.
What’s changed? • For a level 5 now: • Typed works cited page in MLA format submitted right before presentation. Minimum two sources, both strong sources, one non-textbook. • Strong analytical thinking • Compare-contrast • Cause-effect • Categorize • HIGH quality visual aid

What’s a high quality visual aid or activity? Visual Aid Activity Images and text are very Legible Clear Relevant Actively involves students in a way that helps them learn from you. Fits in the timeframe appropriately.
NOTE!! • THIS IS NOT A “POWERPOINT” ASSIGNMENT! • PowerPoint is ONE OPTION for creating meaningful visual aids for your presentation. • THIS ASSIGNMENT CONSTITUTES A TEACHING ASSIGNMENT.
Strong PowerPoint - TEXT • Very little on a slide and it’s all relevant and legible. • Avoid background images that obscure text. • No errors in spelling or grammar unless for specific effect. • Attributes like font, color and size all help the viewer.
Strong PowerPoint - IMAGES • Relevant to the topic, not just for decoration. • Avoid pictures that have nothing to do with the slideshow. • Good slideshows have quality images to enhance learning for the visual learner. • Blank slideshows of just words are not strong. • No need to cite source of images.
Strong PowerPoint VIDEO and SOUND • Relevant to the topic • Edited for time • may be edited while presenting by starting / stopping in right place
