Assignment 4 PowerPoint Slide Deck for your Term Research Assignment

This assignment will be different for each student as it is tied directly to your 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. 6. The DUE DATE for Assignment 4 is listed below based on your class enrollment.

a. The Tuesday Hybrid class (noon-1:50) – Tuesday, November 27th. Turn in a hard copy in class of the slides (as a handout – 3 slides per page). The slides may be printed on both sides of the page. Upload the PowerPoint file in D2L as well under Assignment 4 by the beginning of class.

b. The Online Class – Tuesday, November 27th by 11:59pm. Upload the PowerPoint file in D2L under Assignment 4. Note: This is a different deadline day for you – so you have time to complete the Term Research Assignment first.
