With any good news story, you must utilize multiple sources. Your story must be a minimum of two pages in length. A minimum of two reputable sources must be used, cited, and referenced, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. This means you will need to find at least one additional source on your own, and it cannot be the content provided in this course (i.e., unit lessons or U.S. History resource). Inappropriate resources, or failure to use at least one resource available in the CSU Online Library, can lead to deductions.
Your report must be in essay form, and all citations and references must follow APA format
Unit V-Outline
This course has introduced and assessed many noteworthy figures related to the continuing buildup of the United States and its place within the world and globalization during the last 170 years. For this assignment, you will choose an influential public figure from the mid-19th century to the present. Your selection may be taken from speakers or religious, economic, or social leaders. This assignment is open to any reform discussed in this course (e.g., creed, race, age, status, gender), but you may not use any U.S. president. You should focus on communicating the figure's relevance in today's modern era. Why and how is this figure important today? This is not meant to be a biography. Your argument should highlight how society remembers him or her now.
In this unit, create a one-page outline in preparation for the Unit VII PowerPoint Presentation. The purpose of an outline is to help you plan, organize, and connect ideas together so that you can see the overall picture of your final product. At the beginning of the outline, make sure to include a 2-3 sentence introduction that lets the reader know your chosen topic. At the end of the outline, include at least two potential sources you would like to consider using for the Unit VII PowerPoint Presentation (see the assignment instructions in Unit VII for more details regarding the types of sources required for your final product). Make sure the two sources listed are in APA format.
The information you plan to present in your PowerPoint should be broken down and organized. The transcript for this resource can be found within the "Notes" tab to the right of the presentation.
Unit VII
This course has introduced and assessed many noteworthy figures related to the continuing evolution of the United States and its place within the world during the last 170 years. For this assignment, you will develop a PowerPoint presentation based on your Unit V Outline. The presentation should be appropriate for an audience; in other words, it needs to be thoughtfully organized, visually attractive, and clear in the message you are trying to convey.
In the Unit V Outline, you chose an influential public figure working in America from the mid-19th century to the present. Your selection did not have to be an American citizen, but you were not to choose a U.S. president.
This presentation is not meant to be a biography. You should focus on communicating the figure's relevance in today's modern era and highlight how society remembers him or her now.
The presentation must be a minimum of 10 slides and should address the concepts listed below.
Content
• Introduce how your figure impacted a civil rights movement (including, but not limited to, creed, race, age, status, or gender). Note: His or her impact may not necessarily be a positive one.
• Identify how this figure is viewed on the national and/or world stage.
• Discuss how this figure may have influenced challenges and/or opportunities for the United States as a global power (i.e., their international impact).
• Provide a perspective on if this figure's impact would have been seen as progressive.
Organization
• The organization of the presentation should be based on the Unit V Outline. Make sure that you utilize any feedback given on your outline.
• Ideas should be grouped together and transition smoothly.
• Make use of the notes section in each slide in order to communicate your thoughts and ideas. If you would prefer, audio voiceover can be utilized in place of slide notes.
• Include a title slide (one slide), content slides (eight slides), and a reference slide (one slide).
Quality of Presentation
• Creativity and effort are highly encouraged. PowerPoint provides several options for developing an exciting presentation, including options for both audio and video components; however, customizing the method of delivery for the presentation is up to you.
• Use images, graphics, smart art, and backgrounds that enhance your presentation and make it look professional, clean, and visually attractive.
Citations and Formatting
Use a minimum of two sources that can be found in the CSU Online Library.
The American History and Life database is a good place to start, but other databases, such as Academic Search Complete, Films on Demand, and Ebook Central, may be used as well.
All sources used must be properly cited according to APA format. All in-text citations must have matching references listed on the references slide.
