Assignment: Health Education
Each student will be completing an individual power point presentation over your Health Education topic. The Health Education topic is something of particular interest to you in the realm of health care. The topic is submitted to your instructor for approval prior to beginning the teaching project. You may need a bit of guidance in targeting your topic. Examples of a few topics previously used:
- Understanding Hyperthyroidism
- Recognizing Stress
- What you do not Know about Peridontal Disease
- Childhood Obesity
- HIV/AIDS Among Women
You are a health care provider teaching your first class. You will teach the class using a PowerPoint presentation. You will also provide a handout for the audience. The following assignments will assist you in developing the final presentation:
> Select a topic of interest
> Develop Behavioral/Learning Objectives
> Design a Content Outline
> Completion of a Teaching Plan Outline
Your submitted presentation will be worth 20% of your grade
• Your PowerPoint presentation will consist of 20-28 slides. Each slide will contain lecture notes located in the "Speaker notes" area below the slide to supplement your power point slides. Speaker notes will consist of at least five sentences per slide. Speaker notes are what you would actually say to the audience.
• Slide 1: The name of the class you have created, your name, name of the course (Health Education), semester & year
• Slides 2-28: Contain the following information: (You may add up to 5 slides to insert additional information)
a. Slide 2-3: Introduction/Background of the topic
(may include definition, statistics, prevalence)
b. Slide 3-5: List your overall goal/learning outcome and related objectives. A minimum of 3 objectives are required.
c. Body of the presentation will take approximately 5-10 slides: Begin with theContent Outline you've developed and provide the teaching information that you will share with your audience. Be careful not to crowd too much information on your slides. Most of your effort will be in the "speaker notes" in the white space area below the slide as you actually teach the class. This is where you will provide detailed information for the content that is presented on the slide to the audience. In an actual presentation, the audience only sees the PPT slide, not the speaker notes. Remember, this is what you will say to the audience.
d. Conclusion/ Summary: 1-2 slides.
e. Convert your previous submitted written handout into a slide if possible. If you cannot do it, it is ok, since I have already viewed and graded your handout. (1-2 slides).
f. You will add 3 small visual aids incorporated throughout your content. You may also want to add a large visual aid (1-2 slides) at the end of the presentation to show what you may use in class. Please use clip art or other pictures which are not copyright protected.
g. Provide evaluation method (insert quiz, return demonstration instructions, general questions you will ask) (1-2 slides) for each evaluation method you planned.
