• You will use the template provided to your group. You are free to change the background, theme, font, color, layout, etc. of the template but all the basic elements must be there (image, text, title, speaker name, source(s) used.
• You will decide as a group how you will divide up the speaking roles and the order in which group members will present.
• Your group will decide how you want to respond to the question-- be sure it is based on an informed viewpoint.

Individual tasks:

• Each group member will be responsible for developing their own slide and providing a portion of the response to the question assigned to the group. You are allowed 1 slide only. You will also have up to 1 minute to deliver a very short response to the question. Your response must include:
• Explanation to the question
• Evidence (historical examples, quote, primary source text and/or image)
• Reference to your source(s) used to support your response/presentation

HW: Prepare a 1-minute speech + slide

Be sure when you arrive to the next scheduled class you are ready to present. 
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.

• You should reference your image in some way (could take a few seconds or longer--if it is an important piece of evidence you will use).
• Be sure your image also has the source listed.
• Avoid adding too much text. A phrase, short quoted passage or a couple of bullet-pointed ideas is plenty for your slide. You don't want your audience spending too much time reading your slide--instead they should be watching and listening to you.

Speech Tips:
You are allowed to have notes (note card, sheet of paper) with you when you present. Try to avoid reading from your notes the whole time or reading from your slide (your audience is capable of reading the text on your slide).

• Focus on making eye contact and engaging with your audience.
• Emphasize words or phrases that are important.
• Pause for emphasis or dramatic effect. 
• ​Ask a question of your audience to engage them.
