 **1. Authentic Assessment Activity: ** Now that you have determined the topic for your workshop, you can start thinking about the kind of authentic assessment activity you would like to include. **//Begin with the end in mind //** and decide what kind of product you would like your participants to create to demonstrate that they can apply the principles/content/skills they learned in the workshop.

Upon the conclusion of the workshop I want participants to create a mini lesson a ninth grade major course objective using one of the three applications discussed.. Since I want to focus on student engagement, the mini lessons will mainly be assessed at how the person focuses on engagement, creativity, and appearance as it relates to the subject matter. . The mini lesson should incorporate at least one of the three suggested ways to enhance engagement.  **2. Presentation: ** Determine what kind of presentation would be most engaging so participants can learn the basic concepts and skills needed to complete the authentic assessment activity.

Presentations need to be hands-on and engaging. If someone has a question, the presenter (myself) can respond verbally and visually. **3. Graphic Organizer: ** After you develop a general outline for your workshop, create a graphic organizer to help focus participants’ attention on the key points of your presentation. This organizer will help participants actively engage and focus on key points in the presentation. Please view graphic organizer link.

Pre-Training: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> When you have an overview of the concepts and skills you are presenting, you may decide that there is a need for pre-training to provide advanced teaching for your participants. Mayer suggests that this can help clarify concepts that may confuse learners and “set the stage” for learning. Pre-training should take place as an activity or introduction prior to the beginning of your presentation. Think of a creative, yet effective way to accomplish this task.
