IDS 100 Project 3 Presentation Guidelines and Rubric

Prompt You have completed Project 1: Lenses Chart and Project 2: KWL Chart. Now, using the information you generated in your Lenses Chart and KWL Chart, you will prepare a presentation on your topic (the same topic you chose for your KWL Chart) through your choice of two of the four lenses of liberal arts: science, humanities, social science, and history. In doing this, you will not only explain the topic itself but also how it can be viewed both similarly and differently, depending on the lens you apply. You do not have to deliver this presentation; you are simply preparing and submitting the presentation you might use if you were to present on this topic. You will be required to provide written speaker notes that correspond with your presentation in a separate Word document. These notes would be the notes that you would have to reference if you were delivering this presentation. Be sure that you cite any information you use from other sources, including articles posted in class. Project 3, the presentation, will address the following course outcome:

● Demonstrate how individual topics are represented through the application of various liberal arts lenses Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Choose two of the four lenses you applied when researching your topic and create a presentation. You may use as much content per section as you think you need, but be as concise as you can.

A. Using the slide titled “Introduction,” introduce your topic by identifying it and explaining why you chose to study it. B. Using the slide titled “Topic and Lens 1,” explain how your topic is viewed through one of the two lenses you have chosen for your presentation.

You should identify the lens and choose details and examples relevant to that lens from the articles you read. C. Using the slide titled “Topic and Lens 2,” explain how your topic is viewed through the other of the two lenses you have chosen for your

presentation. Be sure to identify the lens and to choose details and examples relevant to that lens from the articles you read. D. Using the slide titled “Convergence and Divergence,” explain the similarities and differences in how the lenses relate to your topic. Focus in

particular on the view you get when looking at your topic through both lenses. E. Using the slide titled “Further Exploration,” articulate next steps for further exploration of this topic. F. Using the slide titled “Conclusion,” reflect on lessons learned during the research process. Focus on the benefits of looking at a topic from

various lenses.
