AMERICAN HISTORY 2

Four Historical Events Presentation

[WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 1, 3, 4, 5, 7]

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the  American Educational History: A Hypertext Timeline  (Links to an external site.)

 and  American Educational History: Some Helpful Links  (Links to an external site.)

. Review Chapters 1 and 2 in the History of American Education: Voices and Perspectives text, and watch the  At-potential Students  (Links to an external site.)  video.

Each week, you will take the topics you address in the discussion forums and expand on these by creating PowerPoint presentations for your assignments. These weekly presentations will serve as sections of your History of American Education Workshop final presentation in Week 5. This week, you will address the four historical events in education you chose for the discussion forum using the directives below. In Week 2, you will outline major developmental periods or eras in education, and in Week 3, you will examine educational philosophies. In Week 4, you will explore social, political, or cultural trends in education.

Using the feedback throughout the weeks from your instructor and your peers, you will bring all of these components back together for your final presentation in Week 5, which will serve as a guide for a History of American Education Workshop that you will deliver to a group of hypothetical pre-service teachers. Look ahead to Week 5, and read through the requirements of the final presentation to help you better prepare for this assignment.

In your Four Historical Events Presentation,

· Outline four historical events in education that you believe have been instrumental in influencing educational policies and procedures in school systems today, two of which must have had a direct impact on a t-potential populations.

· Explain why each of those four historical events have impacted school policy and procedures.

· Evaluate the impact the four historical events have had on at-potential populations.

· Describe how these four historical events have reshaped your thinking about the teaching and learning process.

As you do your research, compile your responses to the directives above in a way that it will be easy for you to transfer them to your PowerPoint presentation (for example, bullet points would work best).

See below for instructions on how to create each slide:

· You will use the 7x7 rule to create your presentation. The 7x7 rule states that you use no more than seven bullet points per slide and no more than seven words per bullet point. This way your visual presentation will only show the main points on each slide without overwhelming your viewers with too many words. You still need to make your slides attractive by adding images and colors.

· You will add either a voice narration or detailed speaker notes to explain the content on the slides.

· If you choose the voice narration option, create a coherent message to fill in the gaps between the main points on your slides. Don’t just read the slides to your audience. They already know how to read. Use this presentation as an opportunity to share your passion about the content, and use it to engage students and make the learning experience fun. Use your narration to explain each of your slides, and limit your narration for the presentation to 5 minutes or less. View this video if you need instructions on how insert voice narration into a PowerPoint:  Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 Tutorial | Recording Narration  (Links to an external site.) .

· If you are unable to insert an audio narration in the PowerPoint presentation, add your narrative in written form in the presentation notes section of each slide. Please provide detailed notes that spell out what you would have said in the audio insert.

· If you need help with creating an effective PowerPoint presentation, please review the  How to Make a PowerPoint Presentation  (Links to an external site.)  guide from the University of Arizona Global Campus Writing Center Writing Center.
