Presentation+Instructions

Presentation Instructions

You are required to give a presentation or make a video presentation for Environmental Geography. This presentation should be five minutes long. You are required to pick your topic and turn it in, choose your sources and turn them in, answer the five questions (below) and turn them in, and turn in a research paper of your presentation including your sources.

Presentations may be done in groups with instructor approval.

Presentations should use some type of media or some kind of prop. So your presentation should be done using something like PowerPoint, Prezi, a video, or even a poster board.

Your project will take place in stages like this:

1. Pick your topic-see the list below, ask me if you need help

2. Pick your sources, you need at least five-

Your sources should be formatted correctly, for example a web address is not sufficient as a source, If you used a National Geographic article from the internet, it should look like this:

Last name, First name. "Article Title." Website Title. Publisher of Website, Day Month Year article was published. Web. Day Month Year article was accessed. .
So this article [|Russian Refuge] should look like this:

Sides, Hampton. "Russian Refuge" National Geographic National Geographic Society, June 2013, 05 June 2013 <

[]>

[|EasyBib] is a great resource for citing sources.

A note about sources:

Your presentation needs to have at least five sources. These sources can be web sites (reputable sites like government agencies or organizations), books, magazines, journal articles, pod casts (NPR is a good source), or interviews. You CAN use your textbook as a source.

3. Answer your questions-

// 1. What is the problem? //

// 2. Where is it or where is it happening? //

// 3. How does it affect people, the environment, or both? //

// 4. What is the historical background of your topic? //

// 5. What are some solutions? //

***If your topic doesn’t fit the questions, ask for modified questions. If you cannot see how you could answer one of these questions about your topic, ask. You will be graded on your answers to these questions, so missing information will lead to missing points.

4. Write your final paper summarizing your presentation and including your sources-

You must turn in a final draft of your presentation, a paper answering all of your questions and including all of your sources. Your paper should be typed, free from errors, and correctly formatted.

5. Give your presentation-

Remember it needs to be five minutes long, and you can make a video as an alternative, but it still must answer all of the questions and you still have to turn in a paper.

Check your syllabus for the due dates for each stage of your project.
