It’s time to create the visual portion of the researched narrative project. A written text is great for some audiences, but other audiences prefer to watch! Tailor the content from your researched narrative into a short visual presentation. This presentation will be shown during your final presentation for the class so make it nice!!

Procedure:

• Look at some samples. These PSAs were created by students in the spring 2024 semester of this class.
• Choose a platform such as Canva, PowerPoint, or another platform. The PSA must be animated, not a series of slides. Canva is an easy platform to create a PSA on because there are thousands of free templates to choose from.
• Watch this Canva video tutorial or this MS PPT video tutorial if you need instruction on how to create an animated slideshow.
• Include a Works Cited list on the last slide of your PSA. The sources should also be used for your researched narrative. No need to find new sources although you can if you want to.
• PSA format should be 1920 x 1080 pixels. (Horizontal-Full screen)

The Final Presentation

Basic guidelines for the presentation are:

• Your final presentation should be 5-6 minutes long. Since we have a lot of students in the class, we need to keep the final presentations on the short side.
• You should submit any media (slides or graphics) you’ll use for the presentation by SU Dec 8th. I need to have the media preloaded, so the transition time is minimal.

What’s the presentation on?

During the presentation, you need to talk specifically about your researched narrative topic and show the CCNY Demands PSA you created for this class.

However, when you’re speaking to an academic or professional audience, there is some information you should always include in your presentation:

First, introduce yourself! Tell the audience who you are and give a little information about yourself.

Second, tell the audience what you’re going to be talking about (a lot of presentations include a summary slide at this point)

Then, get into the presentation itself. You should always be aware of the time (remember, you only have 6 minutes), and you should have practiced! Practice really helps with presentation nerves. The more familiar you are with the content, the easier the presentation will be for you.
