Research and analyze a public figure's social media conflict and create a presentation that tells their story and explains social media's impact on the conflict.

For this assessment, tell a visual and written story that explains how social media can impact conflict with public figures. To do this, create a 10–12 slide PowerPoint presentation in which you use text and visuals to support your narrative.

Note that one of the qualities of a good PowerPoint presentation is not having too much text on each slide. Use the slide notes feature to flesh out your points. You might think of this as a script for what you would say if you were presenting verbally.
