You will work in a group to create an evidence-based paper and PowerPoint (PPT) presentation and video presentation on your assigned culture. The PPT will be distributed to your classmates to use as a study guide for the final exam.

The Paper:

The paper will be written as a group and submitted to Turnitin to check originality. If your paper has more than 25% of its material that is not original, your group will receive a “0”. You will have two chances to submit your paper to Turnitin, the first submission will allow you check the originality and make improvements to the paper as needed to avoid plagiarism. The second submission will be the final and graded submission.

Resources: Textbook, encyclopedia, academic journals, and appropriate websites (this should be no more than 1 or 2 websites and NOT include Wikipedia). ALL must be referenced per APA guidelines.

Formatting: You must use APA formatting throughout the entire paper. You DO NOT need to include an abstract. Your paper should include a cover page, introduction, body, conclusion, and references page. You must use headings and subheadings as you move between topics in the paper. Please see the APA folder in Coursesites to guide you.

The PowerPoint:

The PPT will be used by classmates as a study guide for the final exam. So, it should include a sufficient amount of information on each slide. You may use a combination of pictures and words. You PPT must have an introduction slide, then at least one slide per topic, a conclusion slide, and end with a slide of the references (same ones as your paper).

The Video Presentation:

Your group will video record the presentation of the PowerPoint and submit it on a SD Card. The presentation must be 15 minutes (least 12 minutes in length and no more than 16 minutes). Everyone must speak and present a few slides. Each person will be graded individually on their presentation skills. The lab and projector will be available for use to record the presentation and will be by appointment only if needed.

Collaborative Skills:

Each group member will evaluate their peers on their ability to work as a team during this project. Therefore, each person should do their best to contribute equally to each portion of the group project. The collaborative skills scores will be grouped and averaged so the scores provided are anonymous and each member can be honest in their evaluation of their team members.
