GUIDELINES

Your research project will consist of a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation that will answer the questions provided for your selected Holocaust topic. Using these questions, students will research and explain the details of their topic and its impact on the Holocaust. This will be accomplished by using research techniques of summarizing and paraphrasing from a variety of sources in the media center and at home. Each student will create a Power Point or Prezi presentation with text and pictures that will explain the Holocaust. The presentation will give detailed information about the topics impact on this horrendous time period in history.

Media Center Research/Workdays: Tuesday, February 25

CRITERIA

The term Holocaust is used to define the mass killing of Jewish people by Adolf Hitler during World War II; he ostracized an entire race of people by deliberately discriminating and persecuting the Jewish population during World War II. Your research will reflect the impact of a specific topic on the Holocaust; you must convey your topic’s importance in this historic period. You will follow the outline to create a PowerPoint or Prezi which presents your research in an informative and creative fashion.

Everyone will use a minimum of four different sources to locate information that supports the topic. Students must use at least two books as well as internet sources listed on the media center webpage. Students are responsible for documenting source information for every source used on bibliography cards. Students will summarize and paraphrase appropriate information regarding these topics, and each student will create note cards to build information for the visual presentation. It is extremely important to include the source information (parenthetical citation information) on the notecards so points will not be deducted for plagiarism. Plagiarism is an unethical act of stealing someone else’s ideas and using them as your own. All source information will be included on the last slide of the presentation as the Bibliography.

The PowerPoint/Prezi will consist of a minimum of 10 slides/text boxes. The slides should follow the format detailed in the rubric. Each student will be able to select his/her own choice of background/picture, color combination, font, transitions, and sound. Remember, complete the content requirements first, and then spend time on the creative aspects of the presentation. The majority of the grade will be based on the summarization of the historical content given in the presentation. Your PowerPoint outline should be finished before you enter class on Thursday, March 6, so that you can devote your time on creating your PowerPoint presentation / Prezi.
