Task 2 Creating a Presentation In this task, you’ll use presentation software to create a presentation of 15 to 20 slides that critique the proposed reforestation plan. One slide should present the deforestation grids you created in Task 1 One slide should show the grids of the proposed restoration plan One or two slides should include credible references The remaining slides should answer the following questions: Why is the protection of this particular forest important? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the reforestation plan? Do new trees provide the same resources for animals in the forest as adult trees do? What are two or three alternate solutions to the problem? (Note: Your solutions can be modifications of the current reforestation plan, but consider the pros and consequences of changing the current plan.) What tools, equipment, and engineering resources will be needed for these solutions? What are the pros and cons of these solutions? Time to complete: 2.5 to 3 hours Part A: Organize Your Information After you’ve gathered your research and answered all your questions, create an outline in the answer space. Use the outline to organize your presentation in whatever way you think is best. Following these guidelines for writing a five-paragraph essay may help you structure your outline. Make sure your outline includes a works cited screen at the end to document the authors and websites you consulted.

Follow these tips as you build your presentation: Limit text: Insert key words or phrases highlighting your points instead of typing your entire speech on the slide. When possible, use pictures instead of words: Use representative figures such as pictures, graphs, and charts to convey information or evidence rather than huge blocks of text. Fill in the speaker’s notes: Presentation software includes a notes section where you can add speaker’s notes for your own reference. In this section, you can cover all the details you want to talk without showing them on your slides. Your speaker’s notes should be clear and coherent enough so that someone else could deliver the presentation to an audience. You must complete your speaker’s notes to get full credit for the assignment. Identify two to three audio, video, or photo resources that you wish to use in your presentation. Use the Insert Image button to add any images you selected.

Be sure to proofread and revise to catch any errors in grammar, spelling, logic, or cohesion. Remember that you must add speaker’s notes as well as a works cited page at the end to credit your sources. Follow your teacher’s instructions for delivering your presentation. Your teacher may ask you to record the presentation in the presentation software or present it to a live audience. Be sure to rehearse your presentation before you present or record it. Make sure you complete the presentation within the time allotted. Speak audibly and clearly. Maintain eye contact with your audience or the camera throughout the presentation. Submit your presentation to your teacher along with this activity.
