Power Point Projects
Directions
You will create six
PowerPoint presentations in this year, one each six weeks. Approximately
3-4 weeks prior to your presentation date, you will be assigned a time period
along with another student.
Project 1-
2nd Six
Weeks
Each of you will choose a sub-topic to research, you will choose a topic about
responsibility.
Project 2
Each of you will
choose a sub-topic to research, choose a Core Democratic Value which links with
the sub-topic, and create a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation will
focus on your chosen CDV and you will use your historical sub-topic to
illustrate/explain the CDV.
Your
presentation should consist of 10 or more (content) PowerPoint slides, not
including title, thesis, or Works Cited slides. Your thesis slide should take a
position on how your sub-topic is related to the CDV. In your
remaining slides, you must include at least five pictures, charts, or maps. If
you include video and/or sound clips or dress in character, you may receive
extra credit points. Your sources should be listed in MLA format on the last
slide of your presentation or on the bottom of the related slide. You must turn
in all notes and highlighted computer printouts on the day of your presentation.
See the rubric for more detailed requirements.
Your
teacher will introduce you to PowerPoint.

Presentation and Storage Tips
When your digital video projects are
completed there are several options to consider. You can simply store your video
on your computer but that takes up lots of hard drive space. You may want to
purchase an external hard drive to store completed videos or videos in progress.
Digital videos can also be exported back to DV
tape and then played on a TV through your DV camcorder. You can also transfer
your video from a DV tape to a VHS tape by connecting your DV camcorder to a
VCR. If you have the right hardware another option may be to burn your video
onto a DVD or video CD.
If you would like to place a compressed version
of your movie onto a web page iMovie gives you the option to export your movie
to QuickTime, PC users have similar options. I find this a great way to share
videos and have posted several of my students videos on my school's web site.
You will find a link to those videos in the Art Education section of my web
site, www.olejarz.com/arted. Examples of many of the projects discussed in this
essay are posted on my school site.
Be sure to get proper permission to post videos
on the web and/or present video on public access channels.
Depending on permission issues you
may want students to use first names only in their videos and on their credits.
