Description
Objective: Develop a PowerPoint presentation based on the research you have conducted about your chosen environmental issue.
Assignment Instructions: Putting it all together, you will develop your presentation based on the work you submitted for all of the steps to date as well as the instructor feedback you were given.
**Please read through all of the information here and reach out if you have any questions!
Final Presentation requirements:
Your presentation will be submitted as a PowerPoint presentation.
Your presentation must contain approximately 10-15 slides and a minimum of 5 visual elements (e.g., photos, videos, graphs, figures).
Text is organized using concise phrases typed on each slide (no paragraphs) and properly cited.
If you need to expand on information you can either use the notes section to type out your own words in how you would present the information OR you can do audio-narration, narrated by you, the student (this is optional). You cannot use “text-to-speech” programs or technologies that do the narration for you unless noted as an approved accommodation in a current DSA letter you have furnished to me. For instructions on how to create audio narration in PowerPoint, see the following link:Record a Slide Show With Narration. Narration should be no more than 10 minutes. **Please note the Presentation Example is a PDF to maintain format and so does not contain notes or audio.
Work that is improperly cited and referenced or lacking either proper in-text citations or references may not be accepted for credit.
Your presentation will follow the same format/sequence as your outline and should include the following (please title each slide accordingly):
Title slide – Include your name, date, class name, instructor name, and project title.
Introduction (3-4 slides)
Solutions (3-4 slides)
Conclusion (2-3 slides)

Additional Resources and Tips:
Use your own words (paraphrase). For help with paraphrasing, please review the ‘Quoting and Paraphrasing’ help in the Trefry Library Writing@APUS Center.
Note that your Turnitin report similarity score should be under 20% (not including references) and free of paraphrasing issues. Review the color-flagged text on your report, fix any issues, and resubmit again before the deadline (this assignment is set to unlimited submissions until the deadline).
Note that less than 10% of your work should contain direct quotes.

**Please Note: If you use Office 365 (which is free through the University), you will need to download the software to your computer in order to add audio narration (if you choose to include that)! The online version of PowerPoint does not have audio narration capability. If you are using a Chromebook or Apple product that does not allow you to download Office 365 to your device, please reach out to Classroom Support to assist you.
