Now that you have reviewed the major people and events for the Civil Rights Movement, you must now pick a topic.  Once you have your topic you may now begin to create your PowerPoint presentation. 

You will need to include the following in your presentation:

  • Title slide
  • Introduction slide
  • 6 slides on the body of your topic
  • Conclusion slide
  • Works Cited slide

This will make your presentation with a minimum of 10 slides.  You will need to include a picture on each slide with a conscise explanation or description. The exception to the picture rule on each slide is the Works Cited slide, you do not need to put a picture on this slide.  You may use graphics, but be consistant.  Do not use different graphics on each slide, stick to a few and use them through out the presentation.  Be sure to follow the rules of grammer and proof read your work.  Don't forget you may use your text book as well to you help you gather information.
