Class Work

1. Turn in the critique.

2. Peer Editing of your essay

3. Peer Editing of the PowerPoint -
Here are the guidelines:

Slide #1: Title and Your Name

Slide #2: Identify the problem - make your claim

Slides 3, 4, 5: Explain the causes of the problem. This answers "because" and possibly gives evidence.

Slides 6, 7, 8: Explain the effects of the problem - This is more evidence.

Slides 9, 10, 11: Call to action - give the viewers concrete examples of what can be done and explain what difference their actions will make. (This section contains another claim, more reasons, and more evidence.

Slide 12: Works Cited page - This should look just like the Works Cited page in your essay.

Note: You MUST save your PowerPoint on a Jump-drive or burn it to a CD. This is the only way to move quickly from presentation to presentation.
