MABS 202 - PowerPoint Presentations
Midterm Project - Part B

Read Final Project Instructions. Consider what you plan to do for your final project.   Your final presentation can describe and/or introduce your workplace, a country or culture, your family, a community organization, a topic or question you want to explore, and/or a project, idea, campaign you want to promote.  The project can inform, inspire, motivate, persuade, educate, report, and/or entertain.

For Midterm Project - Part B, create a simple first draft/outline of this final project. Develop 8-15 slides with draft titles describing what will be presented. 

Choose a theme or create your own template.

The first slide should include a draft title for your presentation. You may choose to use your name or not as the subtitle in the first slide;  for example:  Created by Firstname Lastname.

In the Notes pane of the first slide answer the following questions:

What is your storyline?

What are three main points you will make in your presentation?

Who is your audience?

Where you will look for your data, information, pictures, clipart?

The rest of your slides should each have a slide title and a description of the content you plan to include on the slide. You can include text and/or pictures if you are prepared to do so. Formatting and animation are not necessary. You only need to include content at this time.

Include a footer for Notes and Handouts (not for Slides - remember which tab to use) with your first and last name.

Name your file:   Midterm_Project_B_FirstName_LastName

What IS NOT expected:   Animation, slide transitions, pictures, clip art, shapes, WordArt. However, you can include these if you so choose and are ready to do so.

What IS expected:   Use short phrases or complete sentences with active verbs in your slide titles.   Use a conversational tone that is simple, clear and direct.  Engage your audience. Important:  Don’t worry!  Your presentation will change many times before it becomes a completed final project.  Titles, ideas, focus may change.   This is a beginning, a getting started, a rough draft, a thinking through of what it is you want to do.

To get ideas of what is expected, review examples of what students have done in the past. These can be found in the folder Midterm Projects Student Samples in
Jennifer's Files.

Note: Midterm Project B Chinatown includes comments from Jennifer about how to develop parallel construction with subtitles. Simple click on the upper left hand corner JAB comment in some of the slides to see what is recommended.
