=Media Center Work Day! =

Your Project: CULMINATING PERFORMANCE TASK (Semester Exam Grade)
Identify someone (or a group) who has committed a horrible atrocity against another person or group of people. Research to identify the who, what, when, where, why of the atrocity. Create a multi-media presentation that portrays the atrocity and presents a claim about the possibilities and limitations of forgiveness associated with this atrocity. Support claims with specific evidence from multiple sources.

Independent Research Notes (25%) Group Outline (Including Assigned Roles for Presentation) 25% Group Presentation (Rubric will include both an overall group performance score and independent scoring for assigned roles) 50%

To be presented on semester exam day. =Today's Task: Outline and Begin Creating Presentation = 1. Design your presentation as an outline on the storyboard handout. 2. Write names on slides/frames of the outline to assign each group member to be personally responsible for a section of the finished product. Make sure that each group member is given an equal assignment. I will grade your individual research and your group outline as process grades that will account for 50% of the final grade.
 * Begin at a table with your group today. Before you begin building your presentation, I need you to do two things:**


 * TASK 2: Outline (25%) **

Use the storyboard handout to design your presentation. Whether you are doing a PowerPoint, Prezi, or video, design each frame with **the type of image you would like to use, basic points for the text in that frame, and the source you are using for this information.** After you have outlined your presentation, **assign each group member an equal portion of the presentation that will be that person’s responsibility.** As you present, I will have your outline in front of me and grade each group member individually on that portion of the presentation. You will also be given a group grade on the presentation as a whole.

=When you finish your outline, begin creating your presentation! =

Think about the rhetorical triangle...

 * Ethos- You will seem credible if you cite your research and seem reasonable and fair in your claims
 * Logos- Give us all of the facts. Back up your claims with evidence.
 * Pathos- Appeal to our emotions. Who will you humanize? If you are claiming that your subject is unforgivable, grab our heart-strings with the victims. If you are claiming that your subject is a victim as well, how can you make us see your subject as something other than a monster?
