Process
Requirements
for the Power Point presentation
1.
The length should be about ten slides--no more.
2.
There must be at least two illustrations: one drawn by you and
scanned or scanned from a book; one downloaded from the web.
These can be pictures illustrating the god, the myth, a temple
of the god, etc. You must have a photo of a temple or sanctuary
of the god (Hades excluded).
3.
Your presentation should have a title page slide with the usual
heading placed in the lower right-hand corner. In the center
of the slide should be your title, which must be bold-faced and
any color other than black. Under the title should be one to
five lines (give or take) of the Homeric Hymn (the CD ROM Athena
will help you!) written about that god; the hymn should be italicized.
You must have a photo of a Greek vase depicting your god.
4.
Your final slide should be a bibliography of EVERY source you
used. You must use at least one book from the library, one CD
ROM source from the library, and one web site found via GA's
Online Onramp in addition to the Edith Hamilton book. You should
annotate each source, which means that you will write one or
two sentences on each source explaining why it was useful, what
features (index, subjects ordered alphabetically, etc.) would
make it useful for others, whether the reading was easy or difficult,
how much info on your subject was in the book, etc. You will
find the format for your bibliography in the Research Guide in
the back of your plan book.
Requirements
for your oral presentation of the Power Point slide show
1.
Your talk should be no longer than five minutes.
2.
You should use note cards or memory, not a sheet of paper, to
guide you. If you use note cards, do not read your whole report
from them. Use them as an outline only, and show that you know
your material and can talk about it.
3.
Give the class extra detail that they don't necessarily need
to know. Your Power Point presentation should give the essential
facts. Your talk should enhance those facts and bring them alive,
not just repeat what is written on the slide. You MUST PRONOUNCE
EVERY NAME CORRECTLY!!!!!
