Create and Share your Presentation
Your groups final portfolio will comprise one or more pages in PebblePad where you will showcase your groups research and findings. The final design and appearance of your portfolio is up to you and the group, but every portfolio should include at least the following elements:
A minimum of two journal articles in your presentation with evidence-based findings
The use of some multimedia to showcase the researched materials
A piece of creative work (e.g., story, poem, artwork, song, video clips) to highlight the theme and/or convey your key message
Here is the peer evaluation rubric for your group project.

Individual Reflection on Group Work and Annotated Bibliography (5%)
Your reflection should include two components: (1) how you worked together as a group to produce your final presentation and what your individual contribution was; (2) your personal learning and major take-aways from this assignment. The individual reflection should be a maximum of one page in length.
In addition, you are required to submit one entry of an annotated bibliography of research evidence from a primary source that is related to your presentation. This source should be unique to each individual student (i.e., group members cannot submit the same article). Please review the course content explaining annotated bibliographies: 2c. Literature Review and Annotated Bibliography, then consult the Annotated Bibliography Checklist to make sure your annotated bibliography meets the requirements.
