Oral presentations in Inorganic chemistry- Ligand of the week

I have had students in the past give short oral Element reports.  They are given the following guidelines:
1.  Where is the element found in nature (biology or geology)?
    2.  How is the element used in society? As an element or in a Compound, etc.
    3.  Show some balanced equations involving the element making or breaking bonds.
    4.  Show structures of  compounds including the element.
    5.  Show chemistry you think is particularly interesting.

For some variety I am going to try the following exercise next fall.

I found the following exercise by Marion Cass, J. Chem. Educ.  2004, 81, (8), 1145; that I thought was a nice change from the typical element reports.  I am always looking for ways to put some variety into the course.  A little variety helps keep me interested.  

   Dr. Cass has different ligands of the week questions such as:
1.  Find ligands that bind through nitrogen, ligands that bind through oxygen, etc.
She/he has students answer several questions about each ligand and has the students give short oral presentations on their ligands.
    1.  give the name of the ligand and the name of a complex it forms with a metal
    2.  Draw lewis structure of the ligand and find hybridization of each atom in the ligand
    3.  Is it charged or neutral?
    4.  Is it chelating or monodentate?
    5.  Is there interesting chemistry associated with this ligand?  
She/he had several other possible questions  to add on.

Anyway I thought people on this list might be interested in this article.
