Pop Culture Presentation

Q: What is this pop culture presentation?
A: Effectively you want to introduce your topic to the class and explain:
1. What or who is it?
2. Why is this subject important? (i.e., how has it affected our culture or lives?)
You should have a visual aide or audio aide of some sort. This visual or audio can be a film clip, a newsletter that you create, a brochure with relevant information, a Prezi that incorporates video, visuals, and information, a song clip, a tray of brownies (or any appropriate food), a poster, a painting, a Powerpoint presentation, a flyer, a 3D object, a pet snake, a game, a physical object, a picture, a zine you created yourself, a comic book, a swatch of fabric, or anything else you can think of that would help your audience understand what you're talking about.

Q: How much time do I have to present?
A: Please keep your presentations to about 10 minutes or less. As long as you've explained what it is and why it's important, we get the idea. Realize that very, very short presentations may not be thorough enough. I want to see 12th grade work.

Q: When is the presentation due?
A: I'm watching you work. Let's tentatively say week of Oct. 5-14. All presentations will be due by Friday of Oct. 14.

Q: How am I going to be graded?
A: Your presentation will be graded on how informative the project is, what it communicates, how involved or creative it is (particularly the visual aide), how prepared you are in presenting it, and how well done the research was. Remember that along with the presentation, you are required to turn in a works-cited page (in MLA format), and put a 3+ page reflective essay on your topic in your portfolio. These grades will go to average your final score for the marking period.

If you have further questions, please ask.
