May 31 - June 3 (Week A)

Tuesday- May 31 to Thursday - June 2

Create and Save your Power Point presentations as 97-2003 version. Use YOUR NAME-FINAL as the file name.

Today you will begin to take the research you have done and the survey data you have been gathering and you will begin to organize your project. You will have about a week to complete the project.

All of your writing must be in complete sentences. You may use bullet pointed lists or full paragraphs or both in combination.

You may use as many illustrations and images as you need to make your point clear.

Your presentation should have:

• A title slide which includes your name.





• A slide in which you present your argument.





• 2 or 3 slides in which you make your case using facts you found in your research. ***If you are comparing two things, you may want to use side by side comparison slides.***





• A slide (or 2) in which you present AND REFUTE the opposing side.





• A slide for your survey question(s) and chart.
  





• A conclusion slide.





• A bibliography slide (a list of the articles you used for your research).

Design with your audience in mind. Consider what type of illustrations, colors, etc. would appeal to your ideal audience!

THIS DOES NOT NEED TO BE COMPLETED TODAY. IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE EMAILED TODAY.

Completed PowerPoint is due to me (by email) on Thursday, June 2!!!!!!!!!!

Friday - June 3

Blogging Day

You can share your classwork and other accomplishments online through your blog!


Today you will make an account on AuthorStream.com.

You can share PowerPoint presentations, videos and Word documents through SlideShare and then embed them on your blog.




Go to the AuthorStream.com.

Make an account.

Upload one of your PowerPoint presentations from class (there's a grey UPLOAD button on SlideShare after you've made your account).

Choose the PUPLIC upload option.




THEN.................................. Embed your slideshow using the EMBED code that you have used in the past to upload a YouTube video. Look for the button that says: EMBED (it's to the right of your video). Click Embed. It will give you a line of funny looking text. This is HTML code. Copy the complete code. Come back to your "New Post" page on Blogger. Notice in the upper right hand corner of the Blogger window there are two tabs. One says Edit Html, the other says Compose. Click Edit Html.Paste the HTML CODE that you copied from AuthorStream. Click Compose (if you want to add some text to your post) or Publish Post and you will see your presentation embedded in your new blog post.

When you're done, email me a link to your blog page so that I can see that you've embedded your PowerPoint.
