Here are some tips for the final project:
1) Narration – Be sure to either read directly from the slides or put your narration in the slide notes. Bottom line, the words you read aloud need to be written somewhere for me to read along for grading. Also, the narration needs to be in your voice… not text-to-voice computer narration.
2) Length – There is no length requirement, but most students come in at about 800 to 1200 words.
3) At least TWO multi-media sources – You can use one image and one video, one graph and one image, one video and one graph, etc. All must be cited both in text and in the bibliography.
4) Your project should be about 75% to 80% YOUR writing with 25% to 30% direct quotes. MOST of the project should be original material written by you, with quotes/ paraphrases to back up your points.
5) Power Point People – Watch file size! There is an upload limit. If your presentation is too big, remove unnecessary backgrounds, make images smaller (either physically smaller or save them at a lower resolution), and videos can be links to videos as opposed to embedding the video itself. Remember, images are for information and content, not for decoration… choose wisely!
6) Web Based Presentation People (Prezi, Powtoons, etc) – You will be submitting a link to your presentation, so be sure it is public.
6) Keep an eye on class next Monday through Wednesday, if I have issue opening your presentation, I will send it back to you or send you a message. ALL presentations must be Windows compatible!

The slide below (Cobb County School District, 2011) shows one way to insert a chart… always explain the important of the chart and be sure to cite it! See your tools HELP for exactly how to insert it.

THEN be sure to cite it properly! I like Purdue OWL’s website the best…

Week 7: Final Career Interest Project Directions
PROJECT GOAL: Create a multimedia presentation in which you will present information about a career-interest area or field of study interest. In addition, write a reflective paragraph about the product and process.
This presentation you create or a presentation your classmate creates may NOT be used in any other class at APUS or other institution.
There are two (2) parts to this assignment.
Part 1: For the final presentation, include the following:
Select and use a presentation tool such as PowerPoint, Prezi, or another choice discussed during this term.
For your content, choose a career interest that you might pursue after completing your degree program or a field of study interest that you might pursue within your degree program. If you have not selected a degree yet and do not know what career field you might pursue, review the degree
programs listed on the AMU/APU website and select one that piques your interest for additional consideration. (How to Locate the Gainful Employment Information for Your Discipline)
The presentation should include the following:
A title slide that includes your name as author, the date, and your course name/section number/session/year.
An introduction slide that introduces your topic, why you chose it, and your thesis statement.
A slide describing your career interest or field of study that connects how this topic relates to your degree plan or career interest.
Then, use your concept map to create slides that address each of your critical thinking questions using details from your research; cited, in-text, and referenced. This should include cited facts about potential salary, work conditions, type of activities included, or other details you have selected, using four (4) or more different sources (book, journal article, website, video, etc) of which 2 are scholarly sources. Bullet the key points on your slides.
Use, cite in-text, and reference at least four (4) source citations and at least two (2) of the sources must be scholarly sources from the APUS library. Do not include generic web sources such as Wikipedia or About.com
Reference all sources, graphics, and videos in a chosen format style (APA, MLA, or Chicago) at the end of your presentation.
Create a script, rehearse, record, and properly embed narration for your entire presentation.
Include a minimum of two (2) different media forms to enhance your presentation that include video, images, graphics, animation, or additional audio.
Use at least one (1) advance feature of your presentation tool. This may include slide transitions, animation, or automatically playing videos or narration.
Part 2: In addition to your presentation, in the text box of the assignment, write a 5-8 sentence paragraph reflection on the finished presentation and the overall process of completing your presentation. This should address how you used the Big 6 Model in its creation.
Here are some examples.. Please look at them
