WW II PowerPoint Museum



WW II PowerPoint Museum

OVERVIEW

Each student will be creating a virtual museum in PowerPoint. The museum will be based around a single World War II topic which should be broken down into five sub-topics. The slide show will consist of interactive exhibits that will allow the viewer to move between the subtopics to see a combination of visual and student generated information.

PROJECT SPECIFICS

Each student will choose a topic from the list below or create their own with my permission. Each student will then submit a list with their 5 sub-topics for my approval.

The Museum:

1st slide: The first slide is the starting point for the museum. It should have a labeled visual image for each of the five subtopics. Each visual should be a clickable that brings the viewer to a mini-slide show presentation. (The mini-presentation can be embedded in a larger presentation or separate) In addition, there should also be a clickable that links to a bibliography page.

Subtopic presentations: The subtopic presentations should be 3-5 slides long, include at least 3 visuals images and should have the equivalent of 1-2 pages of typed, double spaced text. The text should be student generated in paragraph form and should include citations (see below). All text must be legible and no obscured by visual images. Sounds and movie clips may be used in place of at least 1 visual image per subtopic. The last slide in each of these presentations should contain a button that will bring the viewer back to the “museum entrance.”

Bibliography Page: Each presentation should include a bibliography page. The sources should be in standard bibliography format. There should be one bibliography for content and one for visuals. It should contain a clickable which links it back to the “museum entrance”.

Research Info

Citations: Each subtopic should include at least 1 content citation (parenthetical citations are fine). Additional citations should be made if needed. At least 5 different sources must be cited within the entire project. In addition, all visuals should include citations.

Bibliography: Each student should include at least 5 different source of a varied nature (i.e., books, Internet, magazines, etc.) which are used for content. One of there 5 sources must be a primary source. Additional sources which are used for visuals must also be included in a separate bibliography. No generic encyclopedias, text books or materials distributed in class may be used as one of the 5 content sources without my permission.
