Working Conditions Presentation Project

What is the project? This project is not a traditional 5 paragraph writing assignment. For this project you will create a presentation instead. What tool you use to create your project is ultimately up to you, but here are some tools you could use: www.prezi.com www.emaze.com PowerPoint (if you have access to it) If you do not have PowerPoint you can use Google Drive and create a PowerPoint presentation of Google Slides. You must share presentations like this with anyone with the link. If you need help doing this please give me a call. https://www.google.com/drive/ You will need to sign up for any of these, but they are free…and free is always good! If there are any others you can think of make sure you get with me to discuss it. We can make sure it is a free tool and one you can use to create this project.

What is it about? Your focusing questions, the questions that your presentation must answer, are: 1) What are the modern day problems with working conditions? 2) Why are they problems? 3) What countries have these problems? 4) How do these problems compare with the problems with working conditions in the story Lyddie?

Title Slide Your title slide is your attention grabber for this project. You want it to stand out and make people want to look at your presentation. This should include the title of your project. Think of something creative that let’s people know what your presentation is about. You must include your first and last name and the date you turned in your project. Remember you want to be creative here so people want to continue looking at your presentation.

Content Slides After your title slide, but before your citation slide, you need to have a minimum of FOUR slides that answer the focusing questions. Each slide identify what question is being answered on it. Slides II, IV, and VI – content. Present answers to each of your focusing questions, with a reason for your answer. Slides I, III, and V – images. Present images that match the answers to your focusing questions, which help the viewer understand more about your answers.

Pictures You must incorporate at least 3 appropriate pictures throughout your project. There should not be a picture on your works cited slide. These pictures must be related to what you are writing about on a given slide. For example, if I was writing about the working conditions in Lyddie, I might include an image like the one to the right… You MUST state where you got pictures from since you did not create them. This means you must have a source next to the picture. It must be the full URL, like this: https://www.emaze.com/@AOIIOQFO/Book- Summary

Works Cited Slide At the very end of your project you need your works cited slide. You must use and cite a minimum of 5 sources. Only 3 of these can be picture sources. This means you can still use say 5 pictures and you must cite them, but you must also cite at least 2 reliable content sources as well. These MUST match your in-text citations. Your citations must be in MLA format with the full link/URL included. Use www.easybib.com or http://www.citationmachine.net/mla/cite-a- book as recommended citation generators.
