Project X – Final Presentation
STUDENT MATERIALSSTUDENT MATERIALSS-1FINAL PROJECT – PRESENTATIONWORLD HISTORY PROJECT 1200 / LESSON 9.0 ACTIVITYPurposeUnderstanding and evaluating data is increasingly useful in everyday life. The data explorations and activities you’ve completed in Project X have prepared you for that. But now, we’re asking you to go a step further. It’s time to put all that knowledge to work. In this final presentation, you’ll make a prediction about the future of your topic using the charts and sources you collected in the research activity. This provides you an opportunity to use your data literacy skills to craft an argument rooted in historical context. This final presentation also lets you showcase all the hard work you’ve completed in Project X, and gives you the opportunity to offer a course of action for the future.ProcessBy now, you’ve had plenty of practice reading and evaluating data. In this activity, you’ll use your new skills to create a five-minute presentation as the final for Project X. Your teacher will provide you direction on the presentation format.Here’s the good news: You’ve already done a lot of work on your final project! The data explorations introduced you to a bunch of charts on a wide range of topics. The four activities you completed before this one have given you the tools you’ll need to make your presentation. The two Making Predictions activities prepared you to make and evaluate your own predictions. You selected a topic that is meaningful to you and of world-historical significance. Finally, you conducted research and collected a set of charts and other evidence to support your predictions. You’re ready for this!Before you begin work on your presentation, carefully review the Final Presentation Checklist to make sure you understand the requirements for the presentation. Your teacher will let you know the schedule for the Final Presentation. Be excited to show off your hard work! Unless otherwise noted, this work is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
