General directions:
- Create a PowerPoint presentation for your group’s prompt.
- Everyone must contribute
- All group prompts require quotes from sources to be show in the PowerPoint and then somehow explained. See the prompts below.
- You need at least 1 graphic or picture
- Must have title slide with group members’ names.
- The slides must be easy to read (good use of colors, bits of information on several slides rather than all info on one slide, etc.) For more tips, click here.
- Submitted through the upload form on the Website. In the “Message” field type in “group assignment,” period, and group number.
- You will teach the class about your prompt, using your PowerPoint.
