Curated by: Hong Ha Hoang
What
As in the TV show, The Iron Chef, this activity is structured to allow students to complete the task using limited resources and limited time.
Why
Learn content using a semi-student-guided model
Work in teams
Practice presentation skills
How
There are 8 main components to this.
The teacher prepares a slide deck,
Each team captain opens their Iron Chef and shares it with the rest of their team.
Each student will edit one of the four slides for his or her team.
Once everyone is set up and ready, set a timer for 10 minutes
Students research the content using the provided links and use the newly gained information to complete building out the slides. Students list 5 or more facts about the topic or question proposed on their slide, add an image, and complete the secret ingredient challenge. If time remains, they may then adjust slide layout and color.
Students stop working with the timer rings
Present their slides after time is up.
Teacher and peers will score group presentation based on the rubric
