Instructions
For this assignment, create and lay out a slide presentation (e.g. using PowerPoint, Google Slides, etc.) with the following required slides/sections. (You may include more information, but the slides/sections listed below are all required.)
Include a “rough draft” of content on each slide/section. It doesn’t have to be perfect at this point, but you should have some information on each of these slides/sections. Information on individual slides will ultimately be formatted as a bullet point list. Slides should also include pertinent pictures/graphics.
Include “presenter notes” for each slide. Again, this does not have to be perfect at this point but put at least 100 words in each slide’s presented notes area so your peers have something to read/review.
Peer review each other’s work. Give CONSTRUCTIVE feedback (constructive meaning helpful and useful, not just “this looks bad” or “do more”) and be professionally polite with each other. The point is to improve each other’s work and lift each other up.
Presentation Structure
The following list details the structure of your presentation (slide headers and slide content). Some slides will have more information than others; in this case, break up “heavy” slides into multiple slides (e.g. “Geography Part 1”, “Geography Part 2”):
Title SlideTitle slide with your name and topic
GeographyGeographic location, topography, climate of the country/region
GovernmentType of government; any large historical shifts in government
Population & LanguageSize of population and language(s) spoken
Religion & SpiritualityOrganized religion(s), if any, and common religious or spiritual practices/rituals
EducationEducational system, including music education
Music & DanceTraditional music and dance in rituals and/or ceremonies
Instrument types and uses including unique playing techniques
Culture and society pertaining to music
Additional Information Other unique points of interest.
SourcesInclude the sources you’ve already determined earlier in this course.
Provide an updated list of sources used; any new source must be described and justified.
Cite your sources using APA formatting.
For the final submission, the following will be required. Get a head start by including some of these things in your rough draft. Again, this is a rough draft, so all this content does not have to be included at this point.
You must include “presenter notes” for each slide.
Write the presenter notes in full sentences, NOT bullet lists.
The presenter notes will be directly related to information visible on associated slide.
If you were to read the presenter notes aloud in a live presentation, the total time of your entire presentation would run no less than 20 minutes. This will equate to between presenter notes of 200-300 words per slide.
Each slide should have engaging photos/graphics to highlight the information.
There must be at least two working YouTube or Spotify music links included somewhere in the presentation (not on the sources slide; they do not count as sources) that highlight the major types of music from your selected country/region(s). These YouTube or Spotify links may NOT be ones previously used in this course or those from the textbook. These will be different from any YouTube documentary etc. you have used as a source.
You must have at least 5 pertinent sources cited in APA format. See this guide about APA citations if needed
