Final Presentation
Research Paper Online Presentation
Now it is time to tell the rest of the class what you learned in your research paper process. You can approach this assignment a number of ways, but the important thing is that by the end of your presentation the rest of the class should know both (1) what you learned and (2) why it is important to them.
The key here is balancing interest and information. You are trying to convince the rest of the class what you learned, why they should care about this particular topic, and how it influences or affects them today. Make it relevant to your audience, your peers and your teacher!
Goals:
Introduce the topic in a way that makes the audience care about it.
Explain what you tried to find out, what you discovered, and what that discovery means to you and to them. Sell your project!
Know your material and make it interesting-don't just flip pictures of words on the screen--present it via words, colors, layout, and animation!
Get the audience involved in the presentation with a short game, activity, or set of questions at the start of your online presentation.
Remember-I am looking to see you use rhetorical strategies and avoid fallacies!
Requirements:
Length: 3-5 minutes (roughly 12-20 slides)
Minimum Materials: 1 PowerPoint Presentation on Your Research Paper Topic
- Incorporate relevant pictures, quotes, questions, and other materials that will help you achieve the above goals.
- Make the last two slides of your presentation a paragraph summary of the key points covered in the presentation and the works cited page of your presentation. When you use any sources in creating this presentation, be sure to add them to your works cited page and cite them in-text (last slide).
Notes: Some of the best PowerPoint presentations have included various forms of media. Remember that you can insert YouTube videos, links to blogs or articles, music files, and other forms of information; you can even provide voice over. You don't have to just stick with presenting information via slide format. Play with the PowerPoint program and see how creative you can be.
If you want to use Prezi in place of PowerPoint, that is fine too.
