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.

Supporting Work and Resources Throughout Modules Six, Seven, and Eight, there are opportunities to work directly on different elements of the presentation.

1. In Module Six, you will have the opportunity to complete the following: a. Identify the two lenses that you plan to focus on for your presentation and draft the introduction slide. While you may use Microsoft Word to

draft content for your presentation, including your speaker’s notes, your final presentation is submitted in Microsoft PowerPoint format. b. Draft the “slides” for each of your two chosen lenses. c. Draft the “Convergence and Divergence” slide or section for your presentation. d. Draft the “Further Exploration” slide or section for your presentation. e. Submit the draft of your presentation to your instructor for feedback before you submit your finalized presentation in Module Eight.

For support on developing a presentation using PowerPoint, refer to the PowerPoint training (Windows PC or Mac) Hoonuit/Atomic Learning tutorials from Module Six. Log in to Hoonuit/Atomic Learning using your SNHU email address as your username and your SNHU email password as your password.

Project 3 Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create a presentation on your topic through two of the lenses, accompanied by speaker’s notes written in Microsoft Word. The notes should be submitted as a Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. A presentation template has been provided in both Microsoft Word and PowerPoint formats. You have the option to use either presentation template provided in this course to create the slides or sections as you are preparing your presentation; however, your presentation must ultimately be submitted in PowerPoint format. If you use the provided PowerPoint template, you can add slides as needed. You are encouraged to enhance your presentation with images or using other features of PowerPoint. Submit your completed presentation for grading. Your final presentation should include at least two sources to support your topic and lenses. Your citations need to be listed in APA format. If you need help with formatting citations, please refer to the Online Writing Center website.
