This is a public speaking project at its core. If you don’t have time for every student to do a 2-3 minute presentation, I suggest using small group presentations.
Instead of having every student present their peer to the whole class, have them present simultaneously in smaller groups.
6 students x 3 minutes per presentation = 18 minutes
With this approach, you can even switch up groups and have students present a second time to a new group! This is a great way to see public speaking practice start to pay off.
In this scenario, you won’t be able to see every presentation. You can “float” and try to catch a bit of everyone’s.
This smaller audience approach can be useful in helping students build their confidence, and you can slowly scale up group size over the first quarter or so.
