HTY 110HA Presentation Project Instructions Using approved guidelines for conducting simple Internet research, choose one immigrant or refugee group and prepare an audio -narrated PowerPoint presentation about the group. You may not choose the following groups that have already been covered extensively within the modules :  Irish  German s  Jews  Chinese Your presentation must include slides that include the following information :  Images/visuals for each slide in the form of: o Photos (Required) o Maps (Required ) o Charts o Graphs  An introduction to your group and an overview of their place of origin  Push and p ull factors tha t affected your chosen group  Skills and assets of th e group  Liabilities of the group  Early se ttlement patterns of the group  Occupations in whic h this group was concentrated  Challenges th e group faced  Settlement patterns and experiences of this group in American society today  Use your critical thinking skills to answer the following question: Based on your research, would you say that your chosen group has attained the “American Dream ?” In other words, has America been a “Promised Land” for your group? Why or why not? Important  Slides must not be covered with paragraphs of writing. Include only short phrases (bullets) and images/visuals. You sho uld explain the content of each slide with your voice rather than with writing.  Do not read from your notes when recording your presentation. Your words should flow smoothly as though you are speaking to someone rather than reading mechanically from your n otes. Try to be animated when you speak rather than speaking in a monotone. Try to engage your listener and keep him or her interested in what you have to say. See the grading rubric on the last page to see how this presentation will be graded. You will need to record and embed a narrative for each of your slides; i.e., say what you would say if you were presenting in front of a live audience. As such, you will need to attach a microphone/headset with microphone to your computer to record the audio. Price s will vary, but an inexpensive headset with microphone will work fine. Instructions for how to record and add audio narrations to your presentation can be found by using the PowerPoint help feature. These link s may also help you as you create your audio PowerPoint with appropriate timing: Tips for adding sound and video to PowerPoint 2007 presentations Record and add narration and timings to a slide show (for PowerPoint 2010) Add audio to your slide show (for PowerPoint 2013) Note that you will not be able to edit your audio if you choose to record the audio from within PowerPoint, so if you need to correct any mistakes, you will just need to rerecord that audio for that particular slide. If you wish to record and edit your a udio prior to adding it to your PowerPoint presentation, you will need recording/editing software. There are many free audio recording/editing software packages available on the Internet. Just search for, select, and download the one you want to use and fo llow the instructions for recording/editing audio. Instructions for adding externally recorded audio files to your slideshow can be found by clicking the PowerPoint help feature and entering “Add audio to your slide show” in the search box.
