FINAL POWERPOINT PROJECT

Instead of a final, you are responsible for creating a slideshow on the subject of your choice. Whatever you choose, you must be able to do research and find out pertinent (important and relevant) facts. It should be an interesting presentation that the audience enjoys. Make sure and choose a topic that can be researched adequately. For example, "World War II" would be too broad, "Me and my friends" would be too narrow and unresearchable.

You will give a formal speech, using PowerPoint as a delivery tool. Your speech will be worth 100 points and the presentation 250.
