AIM: How will students prepare their promotion of the major History of Money PowerPoint project for presentation to an audience?

Do Now: What is missing in your slide show? What do you think works best of all the slides in your presentation? What is weak and just doesn't suit the professional nature of the presentation?

Give your PowerPoint presentation a thorough, honest, and thoughtful going over to determine if there is anything that doesn't seem right or that isn't complete, that you can complete, or improve. Explain what you are considering changing r adding and why.

Today you are going to "tweek" the presentation. That is you will perfect it.

Make sure to show your presentation to the student sitting to your right for his/her critique. Then show it to the student to your left and get his/her critique.

You don't have to do what they suggest, but consider the suggestions with an "open mind"....

You will need to promote an event when you will present the PowerPoint project to a class of Economics students, how would you promote the event to those students vs. to Bankers at a Convention? Think about the audience. Who would you say is "target" for your presentation?

You will create a one-page poster telling people about your presentation. You will include a heading/headline that will grab the attention of people who see it, and you will include a relevant graphic (s) to generate interest and to let people know with a symbol or photo or drawing, what it's about. You should include time, place, and what is the benefit or attending. Make sure to include your full name, period of your class, and some important highlights of the event.

When you are done, you can send it to me using MS Word or a PowerPoint slide at ProfessorKLK@aol.com for a grade on it. It'll count as a test grade.

I am still unable to be mobile. I have a very serious infection and will be out today seeing my doctor, as the hospital emergency room medical staff said I must do before I can consider returning to school. I am sorry I can't be there to instruct and help you with any questions you may have.

Remember this History of Money Project is the BIG ONE.

( The full-page ad/poster and then we'll create business cards promoting your presentations to others when you meet them. It is termed "Networking" of people not computers, which I'll discuss with you online tomorrow.)

If you need to complete the project first before doing the ad, it is okay to catch up now.

I would rather you not be exposed to the mice in the lab and their fleas and droppings, so please make sure to follow the rules and do not eat or drink while in the room.

Thank you.
