Assignment: PowerPoint Presentation, Sec. 6

As you know, this semester you and a classmate will be responsible for a 15-minute PowerPoint presentation and a class hand-out.

By Saturday the 3rd at midnight, you and a partner should have signed-up for a topic and date. Anyone that has not chosen by this time, will automatically be assigned a partner, topic, and date. Groupings are determined by whomever signs up first.

Follow these steps:

1. Click on "Comments" at the end of this post.
2. In the "Post a Comment" box, leave both your and your partner's name (first and last), section, topic, and the preferred date—only one entry per pair is required.

Example: David Cortez & Will Jameson, The Quakers at Sea, Friday 10.7

Dates and topics are first-come, first-served. Follow these are the guidelines for the presentation:

Requirements:

1. The work distribution is up to you and your partner, though it should be somewhat equitable
2. Must be approximately 10 minutes in length
3. Should have no less than 10 slides, including one video clip (no more than 4 minutes in length)
4. Must include a handout outlining your presentation (25 copies) 

On the day of your presentation, email both your presentation and handout to me at dhdelao@gmail.com.
The best presentations will:

• First contextualize information, then present relevant facts
• Avoid a heavy use of animation and effects, choosing instead a simpler visual style (illustrations are highly recommended)
• Engage the class through a conversational style, utilizing questions and/or activities
• Utilize multimedia, such as YouTube or Google Video
• Conclude with a summarization of the information presented 

Remember, you are responsible for providing your own laptop.
