Presentation Tips: If you look at the rubric you will see that it is important that your presentation topic addresses the question in some part and that you provide evidence to support your idea(s) and reference your source(s). You should also be sure the image you select for your slide is relevant to the ideas you discuss. Your image can be used as a piece of evidence.
