Slide Presentations (Updated)

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

Presentations must: 

• Run at least 10 minutes—you may utilize any presentation program you like (e.g. PowerPoint, Slides, Canva)
• 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:

• 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. Instead, you should know your material enough so that you can sufficiently "riff" on your subject.
• You must present with your camera on.
