As we’ve discussed before, Project 2 (Research Report) and Project 3 (Oral and Visual Presentation of Your Research Report’s Key Findings) will be due at the same time on the last day of class.
Project 2 (Research Report) should be sent to Prof. Ellis (jellis at citytech.cuny.edu) as a Word docx email attachment. Include a brief, professional message about what you’re writing about and sending (don’t forget an informative subject line–just like our memos previously). I will reply confirming receipt of your document.
Project 3 (Research Report Presentation) will be delivered during our last class. It should incorporate a script, a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (not Google Slides, Apple Keynote, or other presentation software), and be at least 5 minutes long (due to the number of students in the class, it may be longer but no longer than 10 minutes). The key is that it is at least 5 minutes long. Practicing your presentation is key to a successful delivery. I will not collect your files. If you do the scaffolding work that I suggest and show a well-designed PowerPoint presentation to accompany what you say, you will demonstrate a strong presentation.
Project 2 and Project 3 are due by the end of our last class on Wednesday, 5/22. All late work must be submitted by then, too. No work will be accepted after this date.
View other examples of presentations–some using PowerPoint and scripts (and others not)–on my YouTube channel.
