PowerPoint Progress Report

Primary Purpose - This 8 slide (minimum) PowerPoint Presentation will be a progress report on your final research project. You will give a 5-8 minutes presentation on your topic. The purpose of the progress report is to present your project to the class for constructive feedback and to develop a rhetorically sound PowerPoint presentation.

• Identify a your topic and an audience that would be interested in your topic.

• Give the audience your research questions - what are you trying to answer/discover with your research?

• Describe the research that you've done.

• Discuss what you need to do - provide a timeline for completion

• You will need to discuss some of the rhetorical strategies you might use to create an ethos that will appeal to your audience.

Process – You must show evidence of having developed and revised this PowerPoint. You’ll want to include with your polished draft a print out of the slide from the rough draft, initial topic brainstorming email, – essentially any documents that show evidence of the process you followed in developing this progress report.

Document – It should show evidence of an understanding of genre conventions of the progress report. The document must also show an awareness of the context that it would be used in.

The Power Point Presentation should include the following:

• A title slide

• Forecasting slides

• Transition slides

• An image that is rhetorically appropriate to the presentation topic

• A closing slide that recapped the presentation

• Slide text was short and easy to read

• The slide background enhanced and did not distract from the presentation

Ethos – Additionally, you should show a good sense of your own ethos through the use of correct grammar, neat visual presentation of the document, and use of evidence from your research to support your points and enhance your authority.

Audience – The final draft must display a knowledge of the audience of the class. This is shown through choice of language, appropriate examples, and the information you choose to give them as opposed to assuming that they have.
