1. You should begin the project with research. Take notes as is appropriate on your topic. You should use your notes to create your outline. Remember to attribute your sources where appropriate.
2. Make sure to copy your site or internet address/URL's into your notes. You need to be able to cite the sources you use using MLA format. 
3. As we work on this project, coordinate your notes. 
4. Decide how it is to be presented in a Prezi, Google Slides, Padlet, or a Moviemaker documentary. 
5. It's a good idea to OUTLINE your work--you need to include an introduction to the topic (what is it?), explain its relevance (why is this topic important), and how it influenced journalism (how has journalism changed because of this issue?)--that's effectively part 1, part 2, and part 3 of your presentation.
6. Create an outline to make sure you know what you have to cover and what you are covering in the presentation. For help creating an outline, check here.
7. No matter what form the presentation takes (short film, Prezi, Padlet, or slideshow) you should write a short "script" for your presentation (about 300-500 words, approx.)
8. Use the script to rehearse for your presentation or as the voice over for your film documentary. Again, remember to include attribution of your sources!
9. Create your project. It is not due yet, but will be soon. Use your time in the lab to progress on your project.

History of Journalism Project Directions (read carefully):
1. At the end of this project you will need to turn in an outline, script, a short film documentary, Powerpoint, Prezi or Padlet presentation (URL or file), a works cited page and a short reflection.
  • Outline
  • Script (300-500 words, approximately)
  • Document file or URL for: a short film documentary (upload to Youtube), a Prezi, a Padlet, a Google Slide Show, etc.
  • Works cited page (in MLA format)
  • Short personal reflection on the project (100-300 words)
2. If you are giving a Prezi, Padlet, or Google Slideshow, you will need to explain and present your project live. Study your script for this purpose and know the material so you can present your work to us like a TedX speech...); If you are making a film, your VOICE OVER should be you reading your "script" with pictures and visuals or main details illustrated in the film. You do not have to 'present' to the class--although we will view and watch your film project.
3. Presentation slides should consist solely of pictures and/or short, short media clips. Keep text to only titles or pictures. The details should be delivered by you, the speaker! 
4. The URL for your project, your outline, works cited page, and reflection go to me (and are due when you give your presentation to the class). When presenting your presentation you may use notecards for your topic, but you should know the information you will cover or explain to the rest of the class. See #2 above. 

By the end of class today, please make sure you have completed the following parts of your project: 
  • Research
  • Outline
  • Script
