Slide Presentations (UPDATED)


This semester, you and a partner will "collab" on a slide presentation based upon a social media-related topic.

Presentations must:
  • Run at least 10 minutes—you may utilize any presentation program you like (e.g. PowerPoint, Slides)
  • 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 
  • Include 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:
  • To present on Zoom, you will be made a co-host. Be sure to select "Share Sound" before sharing your screen.
  • Your presentation must be in your own words—simply copying and pasting text is not only plagiarism, it will result in an F.
  • Do not read your presentation—there are few things more boring for an audience than having a presentation read to them by the presenter. Instead, you should know your material enough so that you can sufficiently "riff" on your subject.
  • You must present with your camera on.
