Plan B

Hi All,
I'm sorry, but I have to be away for a family emergency today.  Things are kind of tough, so I'm asking for your understanding and patience.  We're going to change what we're doing while I'm gone.  Relax, you were going to have to do this later in the semester anyway, okay?  We're just getting it done now.

If you have questions, or need help, click on the Comments link at the bottom of this post.  Tell me who you are, and what you want to know.  I'll post a response to help you.

We will complete Storyboards and resume your "How To" project when I get back.  For now, though, here's what we'll do:

Investigating a Career: Conducting Research and Presenting Information
 
Below you'll see my lesson plan on investigating a career and creating a presentation about that career.  Within the plan, there are links to websites and resources you can use, in addition to just doing a plain ol' Google Search.  (I know it says something about broadcasting your presentation.  Don't worry about that.)

Basically, you have to create a 5-slide Power Point Presentation about the career you research for me.  Included in the Lesson Plan below are all of the requirements for the slides, what this project is worth in points, and how you will be graded.  Pay special attention to the "Outcomes" part of page 1.  It tells you exactly what to put in your presentation.

After that are all of the examples you need to get started.  Click once on each image to bring it up full screen, so you can read it.

You may work ON YOUR OWN or WITH ONE OTHER PERSON.  NO TEAMS OF 3!!  It just doesn't work.  I won't approve it.


Here's the Lesson Plan:

Here's a tutorial on using Power Point, if you're new to it:

Here's how to take a screen shot of data, salary info and statistics you want to use:

 This cool little thing shows up that looks like a crosshairs

and you use it to draw a box around what you want to take a picture of on your screen.  It automatically takes the picture and saves it to your desktop.  Then, you can use it in your Power Point!  Neat, huh?

Here's how I want you to track and cite the websites you use:

And finally, here's how I'll grade your presentation when I get back:
