Term Research Assignment

 If you are
working with another student in the class on the Term Research Assignment
please remember Assignment 4 is an INDIVIDUAL assignment and each student will
create the slide deck on their own.

 Assignment
Requirements and Details

1. This is to be
completed individually and is tied directly to your Term Research Assignment.

2. There must be
a minimum of 6 slides in the slide deck.

a. The first slide must be an introductory slide
that identifies the audience, yourself, and who you are representing
(create a strong slide to start your presentation).

b. The next 5 slides must be
information/persuasion slides – your choice of what to include but they should
flow together. Think about how you can persuade your audience – what content is
needed?

c. Include a work cited slide if you use
information other than your own knowledge in the slides (this would be slide
7+).

3. The goal of
this assignment is to think about how you would present this information to
your audience orally. No new information is required for this presentation –
but how you present it may be different than how you wrote it, or presented it,
in the Term Research Assignment.

4. You do not
have to provide a complete presentation – your goal is to show me your skills
using PowerPoint and your skills in organizing your information for a presentation.

5. The slide
layout and information presented on each slide will be graded (use what you
learned with SIMNet). Professionalism is important for this assignment.

a. Don’t include too much information on each
slide – the goal is to guide the reader, not provide all information for the
reader.

b. Decide on the best layout for the information.
In other words, should you include a graph, picture, or other item to guide the
reader?

c. What does the audience know and what do they
need to know about the topic? Use this to guide your assignment creation.

d. Additional slides (more than 6) may help your
thinking process and your grade.
