I want to do a Prezi and I was thinking about American Disabilities Act or Causes of Social Violence as possible topics. My Aunt was born with severe physical and mental disabilities so that would be a bit more personal. 

Read Chapter 8 in Argument Today to learn the basics of presenting an essay visually.  You’ll find that it forces you to understand the essay-level logic of your own writing in order to plan out how many slides/shots you need and how much importance to place on ideas.  This relationship is the difference between just presenting visual “notes” of your paper and creating a piece of work that proves your thesis by the audio-visual relationship between your presentation of ideas.  You’ll find examples of this sort of project attached here to help you narrow in on the quality and scope of the work that you’ll be expected to produce.

After reading Chapter 8 and viewing some of the example projects attached to this item, post your preliminary ideas for which essay you would like to expand into a visual format.  Is there anything particularly fitting, challenging, or rewarding about converting this essay?  Do you have any ideas up front of how you will organize your thoughts or what format that you will use?  Now is your chance to share you ideas with the class and have more tech-savvy students give you pointers.  Your post should be on this discussion board by Wednesday at 11:59 PM.
