A. TRIO PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

1. You will do a video presentation in groups of three. The purpose of this assignment
is not only to have you working closely with the course content, but also to get you
familiar and comfortable with oral presentations.

2. The group will need to decide who will start and close the presentation. Each
student of the group will deliver a mini presentation of the city assigned. Be as
creative as you wish.

3. Before the conclusion, the group is expected to analyze the similarities and
differences that lead these cities to happiness. Use a Venn diagram.

4. The conclusion should summarize the main points discussed and give a final
message (a quote , a call to action, etc).

each group should be prepared to answer questions based on their talk.

answer questions after the video is watched on Week 6. If this is not
possible, they will be asked to use the chat to answer the question(s)
the professor will make.

6. Presentations must not be edited as group interaction should be displayed.
