7-2 Final Prensation

FMM 208: Final Project Guidelines and Rubric

Overview The final project for this course is the creation of presentation tracing a garment over time. The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency as students will demonstrate recognition for various garments worn during each costume period, including basic terminology, analyzing important historical impacts on the garment as well as its development over time and what traces are present in today’s fashions. The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted in Modules Three, Four, and Six. Your Final Project is due in Module Seven.

Outcomes To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to apply what you have learned in this course and should include several of the following course outcomes:

 Analyze important, global historical events of each costume period and identify the effects of these events on clothing development

 Demonstrate recognition of the basic garments worn during each costume period

 Demonstrate knowledge of basic terminology characterizing each costume period

 Demonstrate an understanding of clothing development over time and place

 Create and share a project that demonstrates their understanding of and ability to apply the concepts of fashion and costume presented in the course

Main Elements The topic for this presentation will be your choice of a garment, the development of which you will trace over time. Your final product will contain photographs, illustrations, etc. in addition to a written description of your garment and its changes over time. You may present using Word, PowerPoint, Prezi, or PDF. Your final product should be between 3–5 pages including photos and drawings. You can look to your weekly overviews for guidance on how to incorporate yesterday’s looks into today’s looks.

Format Milestone One: Garment Introduction In Task 3-2, you will submit one paragraph describing one item of clothing throughout fashion history. You will trace the development of this item. Explain why you chose this particular garment. Examples: dresses, pants, skirts, suits. This assignment will be graded with the Milestone Rubric. Milestone Two: First Appearance In Task 4-2, you will submit one paragraph describing when the garment you are tracing first appeared. Provide photos or illustrations of how this garment looked. This assignment will be graded with the Milestone Rubric.

Milestone Three: Present Day In Task 6-1, you will submit one paragraph describing what the garment you chose looks like now. Provide photos or illustrations of how this garment looks today. This assignment will be graded with the Milestone Rubric. Final Project: Submission In Task 7-2, you will submit two paragraphs describing how the garment you chose to trace has developed throughout time. Provide photos or illustrations of this progression. Discuss how the garment may appear in 20 years. Submit the complete final project with all project components as one document. You will also submit a copy of your project to the 8-2 Discussion Topic for sharing and discussion. This assignment will be graded with the Final Project Rubric.

Presentations Guidelines for PowerPoints and Prezis Principles of an Effective Presentation:

 You may utilize a product such as Microsoft’s PowerPoint, Google Presentation, or Prezi to create your presentations.

 There are various template designs that you can find on the web for your presentation. Consider your presentation from the perspective of your

audience prior to selecting a specific style.

o Follow the 10/20/30 rule.

 10 slides in the presentation

 20 minutes maximum

 30-pt font size at a minimum

 Each slide should include your key point(s). Do not place large blocks of text on the visual. Your presentation is not a means of presenting a short paper.

In an actual presentation you would not “read” from your slides but rather use them as prompts, you include voice.

 Any notes or narration you would use in delivering this presentation to a group should be listed in the “notes” section of the slide.

 References should be listed at the bottom of the slide in slightly smaller text.

 Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content.

 Be mindful of the intended audience and seek to assess the presentation’s effectiveness by gauging audience comprehension (when possible).
