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 GAŐs 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.

Example

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 donŐt 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 whatŐs written on the slide. You MUST PRONOUNCE EVERY NAME CORRECTLY!!!!!
