WWII Presentations

As part of our study of World War II you will be selecting a related topic to present to the class. The exact format you will use is up to you, but should fit within the following guidelines:

o Your presentation should take from 3 to 5 minutes. Select a topic that is not too broad or narrow. (Airplanes of WWII is to broad. The Enola Gay is too Narrow.)
o You must have some type of visual aid. (PowerPoint, poster, video, overhead, etc.)
o You may work with no more than 2 other students.
o If you work with other students, you must all participate in the presentation.
o If you have any handouts or special requirements for your presentation you need to let me know at least 1 day ahead of time. (This does not mean an email the evening before.)
o As part of the presentation, you need to identify the five most important facts you want people to remember about your topic. These should be printed out and given to me before you present.
o You must be prepared to present on the day assigned.
You may draw your topics from the list you brainstormed in class, from the book, or from some other source. However, there will only be 1 presentation of a given topic in any given class.

Remember:
o The focus needs to be on World War 2. If you are presenting a person, you will need to focus on their role in and importance to the war.
o If you are working with a partner I will expect that you will do a more thorough job than if you are working alone.
o If you work with a partner, you are both responsible for the quality of the presentation.
o If some topics are closely related, I may require that they be presented on the same day.

Presentations will be scheduled on Friday, May 1, and start on Monday, May 4. On Monday, I will take volunteers who are ready to present. After that, you will need to be ready to present at your assigned time.
