Each group will do a 30-60 minute presentation, dependent on the number of muscles for the group, including MS PowerPoint. You should briefly show the general area of the origin and insertion, but FOCUS on the demonstration of all the joint actions for each muscle. You show the location of the muscles on another student/skeleton and demonstrate/describe at least four activities that utilize each muscle, two specific strengthening activities (weight room) and two athletic or every day activities. I will photocopy overheads if you give me at least 1 day notice and can help with other materials at your request. The more detailed and creative you are the more you and the class will learn. The assignment is worth 20 points and is graded individually depending on the clarity of the presentation and the level of each presenter’s participation.
