As you know, this semester you and a classmate will be responsible for a 10-minute PowerPoint presentation and a class hand-out.

By midnight on Friday, August 31st, you and a partner should be signed-up for a topic and date.  All topics and dates are first-come first-served. Topics will be crossed off as they are chosen. Anyone that has not chosen by this time, will automatically be assigned a partner, topic, and date.

Follow these steps:

1. Click on "Comments" at the end of this post.
2. In the "Post a Comment" box, leave the group's names (first and last), section, topic, and the preferred date—only one entry per group is required.

Example: David Cortez and Kerry Clancy: Women in Advertising, 10.16.12

Follow these are the guidelines for the presentation:

Requirements:

1. The work distribution is up to each pairing, though it should be somewhat equitable
2. The presentation must be approximately 10 minutes in length
3. There should be approximately 10  slides, including at least one video clip (no more than 2-3 minutes in length)
4. Must include a handout outlining your presentation (25 copies) 
5. On the day of your presentation, email both your presentation and handout to me at dhdelao@gmail.com.

The best presentations will:

• Open with cover and introduction slides
• Begin by contextualizing the topic, then presenting relevant information
• Avoid a heavy use of animation and effects, choosing instead a simpler visual style (illustrations are highly recommended)
• Engage the class through a conversational style, utilizing questions and/or activities
• Utilize multimedia, such as YouTube*
• Conclude with a summary of the information presented 

*Here is a quick video explaining how to embed a YouTube clip into PowerPoint 2007. Embedding clips can save time during a presentation.

Remember, you are responsible for providing your own laptop.
