Shakespeare S England Powerpoint Project

Shakespeare’s England PowerPoint Project

Now that you have been divided into groups, your group must choose one of the topics listed on the back of this page. I have included three links for each topic to assist you with your research. If you add another link, be sure to include it on your works cited page.

The entire presentation must be narrated by each group member. There is a minimum of 10 slides and a maximum of 20. The areas that your PowerPoint must contain are as follows: (all other slides will be decided on by your group)

·  Cover slide – including the names of all group members and the title of your presentation

·  Works Cited slide (MLA format) – detailed and hyperlinked (to create this slide, visit easybib.com or citationmachine.net)

·  Credits slide – which member did what

Your completed presentation should contain no more than 2 picture slides, unless your presentation consists of more than 10 slides. Carefully review all links to guarantee that you have included only the most important information. (Refer to the PowerPoint project rubric for questions on how your final project will be graded.)

I will be monitoring your group’s progress, so please ensure that you have items completed by their due dates.

2.  Rough draft of PowerPoint due 5 days after start of project

3.  Completed PowerPoint due one week (7 days) after start of project
