Thursday, November 10

Classwork

  • Reviewed your notes from the human rights videos. Reviewed outline organization. (See the class outlines that I emailed to you.)
  • Learned requirements for human rights presentation: 
    • Choose a current organization (international, governmental, non-governmental) that fights for human rights. Give its historical background, 1 past success (the problem and solution), and 1 current project (the problem and efforts being made). Provide a website for classmates who are interested in learning more. (If your organization has a foreign name, please translate it for the class.)
    • Each person will have 3 minutes and 30 seconds. We will use a timer to help us move efficiently.
    • To sign up for the presentation, see the list on my office door (Room 254). (8:15 Class: I found the list, and it is now on my door.)
    • You should have received the example powerpoint in an email.
    • You will need at least 5 slides for your final project: an introductory slide with the name of the organization, at least one slide for the background, at least 1 slide for a current success, at least 1 slide for a current project, and at least one slide to display the website.

Homework

  • Work on your presentation. I will check your work on Tuesday when we are in the lab. During that time in the lab, you can ask questions and work on your presentations for at least half of the class. (That doesn't mean you should start your powerpoint in class. You must have a draft with at least three slides to receive homework points.) As we did before, you should email your powerpoint to me by Wednesday, November 16 at 5:00.
