Slide Presentations


This semester, you will be responsible for a slide presentation based upon a 2000s-related topic.

Presentations must:

  • Run at least 10 minutes
  • Be 10-12 slides in length, excluding cover slide and works cited. Introduction and conclusion slides are mandatory—presentations without an introduction and/or conclusion cannot receive full points
  • Contain at least one multimedia clip—no longer than 2 minutes in length
  • Include an MLA Style works cited slide—not to be presented
  • Be submitted to Canvas no later than the day of your presentation
IMPORTANT:
  • Your presentation MUST be in your own words—simply copying and pasting text is not only plagiarism, it will result in automatic failure (see syllabus for our academic dishonesty policy)
  • You may utilize whichever presentation like, but Adobe Express is highly recommended
  • When presenting: 
    • You will be made a co-host, so be sure to select "Share Sound" before sharing your screen
    • Do not read your presentation. Instead, you should know your material enough so that you can sufficiently "riff" on your subject.
    • You must present with your camera on
