Create a PowerPoint presentation with 4-5 slides. As your final project, add 4-5 more slides to make one complete deck. You will also create a voiceover to accompany both presentations. Each set should be 4-5 minutes in length. If it is longer, edit it down.
Choose one theory from the following:
Lateral Thinking
ISBN: 9780062043276
Authors: Edward De Bono
Publisher: Harper Collins
Publication Date: 2010-09-07
Lateral and Vertical Thinking
Sustaining and Disrupting Innovation
Drucker's Seven Sources of Opportunity - Choose no more than three
Traditional vs. Social Entrepreneurship
SCAMPER
2. Define the theory in four to five PowerPoint slides with voiceover. Use your own words and quotes from the text. Be specific. Be detailed. No need for a title slide.
Give yourself time to record a few versions and listen to them before submitting. Check your grammar and layout. Be creative! The slides should mainly be images that you reference. Use examples. Don't read the slides. The idea is for you to present your understanding of the concepts, making them easy for your audience to understand. Speak slowly and clearly. Rerecord as needed. Don't assume you've got the best one the first time. Record it a few times and submit the best.
I am attaching a rubric so prepare myself for something for that
