Global Politics: HL Extension Planning

Global Politics: HL Extension Planning

(0)
This is something I put together to scaffold and structure the HL extension video presentations. The PPT basically consists of information from the course guide and some other helpful information. The word document is a ten page planning document which structures the research and actual presentation across four stages. Also has tons of information in it. Basically, this saves you having to do any planning for the HL Extension task. Upload the document to ManageBac (or other), set the students deadlines for each stage, and go from there.
