Ask students: What are some "smart growth" strategies the Wal-Mart Corporation may want to consider when they select a site for a new Wal-Mart Supercenter to ensure that their new store location does not contribute to sprawl? Discuss responses.
 

Have students self-assess their presentation with the Presentation Rubric. Tell students they have one half of the class period to complete their presentation. If students have completed their presentation, encourage them to rehearse their presentation.
 

For the second half of class, provide each student team with 5 minutes each to present their proposals to the class. Remind students they are members of the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission and will be giving their presentation to the Wal-Mart Corporation to recommend a site location to develop a new Wal-Mart Supercenter in the Lehigh Valley area. Prompt students to make sure that their advice and recommendations are clear.
 

- Remind students of good presentation skills, especially if the students have not had much experience giving oral presentations in the classroom. Tell students to have good body posture, be articulate and clear when they speak, and make eye contact with their audience. Tell students they should not read verbatim from their presentation slides.
