Problem
Topic is on Human Trafficking.
In this discussion you will outline the main issues in your topic in a format that balances your text with visual elements. You will create a PowerPoint presentation to share with your peers.
Instructions
Research: Note where you need more information to understand the major issues within this topic, and find, evaluate, and annotate credible resources that help you thoroughly understand the topic. Access the CCCOnline Library Databases to find academic sources.
Think: What are the main issues within your topic? What are the problems that need solving? What are the issues that people most tend to debate? How can you use or create visual data or visual rhetoric to help your readers understand these issues?
Write: Create a PowerPoint presentation of the main issues or ideas of your topic. Create an introductory slide, 5-6 slides to develop your discussion of the main issues, and a Works Cited slide. Each slide should incorporate visual elements (e.g., pictures, graphs, charts, infographics, formatting, etc.) and should balance those visuals with enough text to make meaning. Be sure your visual elements help convey something important about the issues within your topic. Your presentation should give a clear, complete picture of the topic.
Tips:
1) Your presentation should not take a side on the issue, but present the topic objectively. You should attempt to stay neutral and fairly represent all sides of the issue.
2) You should use MLA citations within the slide to cite sources you use. You may quote or paraphrase as necessary, but be sure to cite your sources. Be sure to cite your visuals just as you would cite any other source.
3) Organize your information and slides logically so your reader can follow your presentation.
In your post, reflect on the choices you made in your presentation. Why did you choose the images you included? How much text did you include and what was its purpose? How did you balance the textual and visual elements of your presentation to make the content engaging and effective?
