Part three for Maiodi

Assignment 1: Discussion

Working with your notes, create an outline to share the structure of your final paper. Using that outline, prepare a PowerPoint presentation of your final essay. By Saturday, August 17, 2013, submit the PowerPoint slides of your final paper to the Discussion Area. Before proceeding to W4 Assignment 3, respond to the rough drafts of two of your peers, using the criteria in the Evaluation Criteria for Preliminary PowerPoint checklist that you used to guide you in designing your own slides.

To start, make an outline of your paper, using the thesis statement for the first paragraph and including one sentence for each paragraph of the body of your paper. Include one sentence for your conclusion as well. Here is a model to help you design the working outline of your slides.

Working from your outline, create a presentation of your final paper on a series of slides. Use the Evaluation Criteria for Preliminary PowerPoint checklist as a guideline in creating your slides. You will also use this checklist to provide feedback to your peers on their slides.

When you complete your presentation, post it as an attachment to the Discussion Area below for critique by your peers. You should comment on the slides presented by at least two of your classmates before proceeding to W4 Assignment 3.
