Presentation Project Instructions

 

Choose one immigrant or refugee group and prepare an audio-narrated PowerPoint presentation about the group. You may not choose the following groups that have already been covered extensively within the modules:

Irish Germans Chinese Jews African Americans Your presentation must include slides that include the following information:

1. Images/visuals for each slide in the form of:

• Photos (Required)

• Maps (Required)

• Charts

• graphs 2. An introduction your group and an overview of its place of origin. 3. Push and Pull factors that affected your chosen group 4. Skills and assets of this group 5. Liabilities of this group 6. Early settlement patterns of the group 7. Occupations in which this group was concentrated 8. Challenges this group faced 9. Settlement patterns and experiences of this group in American society today 10. Use your critical thinking skills to answer the following question:

• Based on your research, would you say that your chosen group has attained the “American Dream?” In other words, has America been a “Promised Land” for your group? Why or why not?

11. List of sources for your presentation (articles, websites, books, etc.) Important

1. Slides must not be covered with paragraphs of writing. Include only short phrases (bullets) and images/visuals. You should explain the content of each slide with your voice, rather than with writing.

2. Do not read from your notes when recording your presentation. Your words should flow smoothly as though you are speaking to someone rather than reading mechanically from your notes. Try to be animated when you speak rather than speaking in a monotone. Try to engage your listener and keep him or her interested in what you have to say.

Review the grading rubric to see how this presentation will be graded. You will need to record and embed a narrative for each of your slides; i.e., say what you would say if you were presenting in front of a live audience. As such, you will need to attach a microphone/headset with microphone to your computer to record the audio. Prices will vary, but an inexpensive headset with microphone will work fine. Instructions for how to record and add audio narrations to your presentation can be found by using the PowerPoint help feature. This link may also help you as you create your audio PowerPoint with appropriate timing: http://office.microsoft.com/en- us/powerpoint-help/record-and-add-narration-and-timings-to-a-slide-show- HA010338313.aspx?CTT=1 . Note that you will not be able to edit your audio if you choose to record the audio from within PowerPoint, so if you need to correct any mistakes, you will just need to rerecord that audio for that particular slide. If you wish to record and edit your audio prior to adding it to your PowerPoint presentation, you will need recording/editing software. There are many free audio recording/editing software packages available on the Internet. Just search for, select, and download the one you want to use and follow the instructions for recording/editing audio. Instructions for adding externally recorded audio files to your slideshow can be found by clicking the PowerPoint help feature and entering “Add audio to your slide show” in the search box.
