Summary
Students research the meaning of prefixes and create a presentation teaching the meaning of these prefixes to others. Students choose groups, choose from a list of prefixes, and then research their prefixes. After assigning roles, they consider the pros and cons of different applications such as Windows MovieMaker, ActivInspire, PowerPoint, and Powtoon. As a group, students choose an application for their presentation, identify the information they need to present, and construct a presentation.
