For the final weekly assignment you get to design the unit 13 lecture. Begin by reading the two essays assigned for this unit. Consider their place in the broader context of the class. Think about all the connections that exist between these concepts and everything we’ve studied in earlier units.
Create a power point presentation that explains these connections as well as teaches the last week’s material. You will use written words rather than pictures to convey the meaning of the material. Aim for at least 10 slides (title slide included) however you may go as far over that as you need. Please don’t bog down your presentation with visuals and bullet points. Think of this as a presentation/paper. What you write down on your slides should be substantial like an essay. Use my slides as an example.
As an alternative format you may also use Adobe Spark to complete this assignment. Just borrow the starter image from the power point file below and construct your spark page in a manner that is comparable to a slide show. Please do not hand in a .key file or google slides. Blackboard cannot handle these formats. You may work with these programs but you would need to upload your assignment as a pdf.
Your lecture should show good understanding of the reading and synthesize information together. Spend roughly the first 80% explaining the reading from this unit and then think of the remaining part as the concluding thought for the class. In the last 20% think about the ideas and concepts that meant the most to you (not unit 1). Try to integrate those things with the content from the unit 13 readings. End your essay with a “most important point” that brings everything together. Below you will find a starter slide-set to begin with. Use this power point file to work from.
