Career Research Project - Presentation

PROJECT OVERVIEW

For this project, you will create a presentation about TWO careers and compare/contrast them based on your interests and research. You can show your research project in a variety of different ways:

· you could use one of the 3 “P’s” to create your presentation (PowerPoint, Prezi, or PowToon)

· Also Emaze.com, or Haiku Deck, or RawShorts.com

· you could make a poster presentation or make a video

· you could write an essay to read

· OR another presentation medium of your choice (must be cleared by Mr. Marshall)

Whatever you choose, you must first show that you have adequately researched each item on the checklist to gather the needed information before putting it into a presentation. Four class periods will be allowed for this assignment. Please use your time wisely, and be creative!

REQUIREMENTS

The presentation must include your name, class period, date, and the TWO careers that you are researching. The presentation must be at least 10 slides if you are doing PowerPoint, and include all information in the checklist provided below. The LAST slide/part must be your Works Cited page. Pictures/diagrams may also be used, but must be appropriate to topic (ex. no random pictures of your best friend or Disney characters!). All sources that you use need to be properly cited in the works cited page. Slides are to be formatted so that they are readable to an audience. Nothing smaller than 24 point font should be used on slides, as it is hard to read tiny print. Full sentences should NOT be used on the slides , but rather use short phrases, words, graphs, bullet points, etc.
