-Mr. Donohue



Rubric: You will be graded in the following areas on a scale of 1-5 for a total of 25 points:
1) You have covered ALL of the elements of a sports prediction (below).
2) You have told us about your team’s main competition (either a rival or a team that would prevent them from winning a championship). Who is this team? What is the history between teams? What may make them tough to defeat?
3) Presentation (the clarity of your message, your charisma and overall style).
4) Your presentation lands between 2 and 3 minutes.
5) Listening and feedback. You must respectfully watch other presentations and offer feedback on how each pair preformed.


Elements for a Sports Prediction:
*Clearly stated prediction
*Who are the stars?
*Who else is on the team – their strengths and weaknesses
*Coaching – will it help or hurt?
*Team strengths and weaknesses
*What are the team’s “intangibles”?
