Criterion Feedback

This assignment gave you a chance to prepare content for a presentation through speaking

notes. In a live presentation, a speaker would use their prepared notes to guide their slideshow.

Your submission does not provide an overview of the scientific background of the issue and

question, and does not explain how the issue relates to the natural sciences. Did you run into

trouble completing the speaking notes? Please get in touch with me so I can help. It is

important that you establish your overview now so you can plan to transition from these notes

to your presentation in Module Eight. You will need to move your speaking notes into the

appropriate Notes sections of the slides. Then you will update the slides to include headings,

images, and bullet points that would appeal to and impact your audience.

Criterion Feedback

Your submission does not explain how your issue impacts your selected audience. If you are

having any difficulty working to describe how your issue impacts your audience, contact me

right away so I can assist you. To get started, take some time to look through your planning

document and find some examples of how your issue could impact your audience. Think about

how you can boil this down to the most compelling details that show a sophisticated

understanding of this relationship between your issue and your selected audience. Here is

where you can use your creative thinking skills and infer how these two different things are

interrelated. For example, how is the issue relevant to members of your audience? Why should

they care about the response to your question or the outcome of your hypothesis? Check out

the examples related to the Deepwater Horizon spill in section 7.2 in Soomo to see one helpful

way of going about this, and let me know if I can help.

Empirical

Evidence

0 / 15.8

Criterion Feedback

Your speaking notes do not describe any empirical evidence that supports your conclusions

about the issue or the impact of the issue on yourself and your audience. Let me know if I can

answer any questions to help you get back on track and be prepared for the presentation. To

get started, return to your planning document and the evidence you shared from your research

to implement examples that support your discussion of evidence. For example, consider

evidence that has led you to draw conclusions about the impact of your issue on you and your

audience. You might also consider how you can clearly present the information from your

sources to show you have a strong understanding of how to use empirical evidence in drawing

conclusions about the impact of contemporary scientific issues. In addition, remember to plan

for how your presentation slides (for example, in the headings, bullets, or images) target your

audience, offering tailored details that apply to their experiences and interests. Again, please

reach out if I can assist you or clarify any of these concepts.

Personally 0 / 15.8

Criterion Feedback

Your speaking notes do not explain why your chosen issue is important to you personally. Did

you run into any obstacles completing this section? Please reach out if I can answer any

questions or provide clarification on this critical element so that you are prepared to move

forward successfully in the presentation in Module Eight. To get started, consider why the issue

you chose is important to you personally and what it means to you, with specific examples to

support your response. Think about experiences you have had, your values, or things that are

meaningful to you that are related to your issue. Share details that make this connection clear

for your audience. Developing an understanding of how our personal values relate to different

disciplines (like science) or our local or global communities can help us to see beyond our

current knowledge. This is part of the lifelong learning process. Notice that the Horizon

Deepwater spill article from 7.2.1 in Soomo highlights specific impacts of the spill that would

be important to people, such as the loss of tourism dollars and loss of animal life in the area.

This is part of the “Message” critical element, too, where students consider their audience in

every section. Keep this in mind moving forward.

Criterion Feedback

This critical element presented students with an opportunity to consider why studying science

and thinking like a scientist to research, develop a question, and formulate a hypothesis affect

what they think about their selected issue and how scientific thinking changes the lens through

which students viewed their issue. Your speaking notes do not illustrate how the investigation

of the issue impacted your thinking on the issue. If you ran into any problems completing this

section, please let me know how I can help or clarify these concepts. To improve your work and

prepare for the presentation in Module Eight, expand your ideas here to illustrate how your

investigation of your issue impacts the way you think about your issue, leveraging ideas you

have learned through your research to demonstrate that you can apply scientific thinking in

investigating contemporary science issues. Please let me know if I can answer any questions as

you prepare for your presentation.

Message 0 / 15.8

Criterion Feedback

Your speaking notes do not communicate your message to any particular audience. If you need

some suggestions on how to tailor your message for your target audience, please get in touch

with me quickly so I can assist you in planning for the presentation in Module Eight. Your

speaking notes and presentation should be written and organized for a particular audience.

Ways to approach this include considering your vocabulary, your audience’s potential

knowledge of current natural science (or lack thereof), and what is specifically important to the

audience. Let me know if I can help.
