START ASSIGNMENT
This week you will take the ideas expressed in the written response you submitted last week and
transform them into a presentation. Your presentation will consist of approximately 7-10 slides and
will feature a narrated audio presentation of at least five minutes. For purposes of this assignment,
PowerPoint is the recommended software. If you wish to use something else, please consult with
your instructor first.
Here is a suggested structure for your presentation:
• Title slide: title of your presentation, your name, name of the class, and date of submission
• Introduction: explain what your topic is, why you chose it, and why people should care about it
• Background: briefly explain the history and context of your topic, and note the forces that have
shaped attitudes toward the topic over time
• Ethical Challenges: note the major ethical issues that this topic raises, and explain why the topic is
controversial or divisive
• Solutions: for each ethical challenge, propose an ethically sound solution
• Conclusion: conclude with a call to action and let your audience know what they can do to get
involved
• References: provide the APA style references to all sources used in the presentation
If you use one slide for each part, the total length will be seven slides. If you find that any slide is too
densely packed, consider splitting that section into two slides. At the same time, remember that
slides are a visual medium, and should not be overly text laden. Since you will be providing an audio
narration, there is no need to use long blocks of text. Instead, use visual elements such as
illustrations and charts, and limit text to short bullet phrases.
