Title: Presenting Written Research Methodology

Grade Level: 7th Grade

Competency: Present written research methodology

Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to present their written research methodology effectively, using appropriate language and visual aids.

Materials: - Whiteboard or blackboard - Markers or chalk - Chart paper - Sticky notes - Index cards - Projector or computer for multimedia presentation - Research methodology samples (optional)

Lesson Plan:

1. Introduction (10 minutes): a. Begin the lesson by explaining the importance of presenting research methodology in a clear and organized manner. b. Discuss the purpose of research methodology and how it helps others understand the process and validity of the research. c. Share examples of research studies and their methodologies to provide context.

2. Understanding Research Methodology (15 minutes): a. Review the key components of research methodology, such as research questions, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques. b. Use the whiteboard or blackboard to create a visual representation of the research methodology components. c. Engage students in a brief discussion about the importance of each component and how they contribute to the overall research process.

3. Planning the Presentation (15 minutes): a. Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with sticky notes and chart paper. b. Instruct students to brainstorm and write down key points they want to include in their research methodology presentation. c. Encourage students to organize their ideas logically and consider using visual aids, such as diagrams or graphs, to enhance their presentation.

4. Creating Visual Aids (20 minutes): a. Distribute index cards to each group and instruct them to create visual aids that support their research methodology presentation. b. Remind students to use appropriate colors, labels, and visuals to make their visual aids clear and engaging. c. Circulate the classroom to provide guidance and support as needed.

5. Presentation Practice (20 minutes): a. Allow each group to practice their research methodology presentation. b. Encourage students to provide constructive feedback to their peers, focusing on clarity, organization, and use of visual aids. c. Offer suggestions for improvement and provide guidance on effective presentation techniques, such as maintaining eye contact and speaking clearly.

6. Final Presentations (20 minutes): a. Allocate time for each group to present their research methodology to the class. b. Encourage students to use their visual aids effectively and speak confidently. c. After each presentation, facilitate a brief Q&A session where students can ask questions and provide feedback.

7. Reflection and Wrap-up (10 minutes): a. Lead a class discussion on the importance of presenting research methodology effectively. b. Ask students to reflect on their own presentations and identify areas of improvement. c. Summarize the key points discussed in the lesson and provide resources for further exploration if desired.

Extension Activity (Optional): - Assign students to individually research and present a famous research study, focusing on the methodology used. This can be done as a homework assignment or as an additional in-class activity.

Note: The duration of each activity can be adjusted based on the class’s pace and needs.
