Here are three fantastic examples – remember, I change the requirements a little each year – but these give you a good idea of where you can go. Be creative though! I don’t want to limit how you present! You have some great technology in your hands – use it!

Q:Is the PSA a short clip that we make? Do we include the history, extent, repercussions, and etc. or do we just choose one?

A:Yes, the PSA is something you create – it is a minimum of 30 seconds. You are ONLY focusing on the band aid solution. When you present you need to share the PSA when you address the band aid solution.

MultiMedia Presentation Clarifications

Q:Is there not a speaking portion for the grading rubric?

A: Yes, there is Tonal/Presentation Skills which includes eye contact, voice/flow, articulation/professionalism. Points can also be deducted if there are issues when you present your media – overall effectiveness & integration into presentation.


Q:Can we do a poll before and after the presentation?

A: Yes, you can – but be careful that you build enough time. You could do this by just asking questions, or you could using a QR code … there are a lot of optins.


Q:Could we get a list of all the requirements without the tips (a checklist or something similar)

A:It is in the power point overview that is online. If you would like to, you can print out the slides that have the key ideas. Slide 2 has the bulk of the requirements.


Q:What does it mean by 3 different t types of media?

A:You have to have three different “things” that were created electronically. One will be your PSA, the other two could be a prezi, keynote, corkboard – anything that you yourself make electronically. It could actually also be something you find – like a short clip from a TED talk or the news.


Q:What are the three interactions with media?

A:Three times you have to interact with the media via the class. Look at the example on the planning sheet if you need more clarification – I will explain verbally this too….


Q:Is there a certain amount of slides we are supposed to use?

A:If you are using keynote or prezi you need to have a minimum of seven slides/focus areas, one each for: intro, history, extent, repercussion, solution 1, solution 2, final thought.


Q:I just have questions about the class interactions. If we don't have to speak at all do we build the interactions into the presentation?

A: You can build the wait time into the video – you can verbally say in your video: How many of you have ever unintentionally bullied someone online? Raise your hand. Then provide three to four seconds of wait time.


Q:I'm just worried that it will be boring and annoying and the class will be uninterested in it.

A: That is a challenge – you will be surprised, most of the topics are pretty good and you are NOT going into too much depth. Think about how you can keep the class engaged creatively. I will be having everyone complete sentence starters as they watch, so I think you are just over thinking this!


Q:Are we able to put recordings onto the presentation so we do not have to speak at all?

A: ABSOLUTELY! I recommend this! That way you know you met the time requirement and included everything you needed! Be creative! This is easier than you think!


Q:How much wiggle room do we have with the format of the presentation

A: I am not sure …. You have a lot of wiggle room – I challenge you to be creative, but you do have to meet the requirements and be professional and school appropriate.


Q:How to use iMovie for the entire presentation?

A:Explore iMovie. I put up a link to

Apple’s overview of iMovie on our web page – it is

really easy to use!


Q:Are we only sharing our repercussions? And is it a power point?

A: Your entire presentation has to cover: intro, history, extent, repercussion, solution 1, solution 2, and final thought. You are NOT allowed to use power point. You can try prezi or keynote though.


Q:How will we set up the presentation? What format(s)?

A:I am not sure what you mean – ideally it will be all on your iPad, so you will mirror your iPad using my Apple TV. If you do this using a PC or want to put it all on a jump drive then you will have one minute to set up on my laptop.


Q:1. Can we have a paper up while we present with the questions we're going to ask?2. Can we organize our presentations however we like if we include all the information?3. Is the PSA something we completely make up on our own? 4. Can one of your pieces of media be a picture?5. Overall you need 6 times you interact with the class right? 3 for yourself and 3 for media?6. Does the class have to interact with each piece of media you put up somehow?

A:1. You can have notecards – but use your technology!2. No – you need to follow the organizational path of the paper with the final thought as

your last piece.3. Yes.4. No, one picture is not enough. It needs to be dynamic. You could be creative and create

a collage of images and put them on an electronic corkboard or glogster or in prezi . . . 5. Yes! 3 with you and 3 with the media.6. Yes!


Q:How do we present this if we can't use our papers to read of from?

A:This presentation should all be electronic. Be creative – you can have the presentation all put together and ready to walk through using iMovie or prezi …. You have a lot of options!


Q: How to put it all together and make it look good.

A: Ahhh, be creative, be dynamic – think about the professionalism needed.


Q:I'm worried it will be impossible to properly address my issue with full information in the time permitted. I'm aware some presentations will be quick, but maybe extend the max time to nine minutes.

A: Sorry, time won’t be extended. This is a brief overview. You are only touching on the information and sharing this with the audience. Pick the nuts and bolts.


Q: Can you use power point at all if you have it on the iPad or do you have to use prezi or keynote?

A: No, power point is not allowed at all. That is the only media that is banned.


Q:What are alternatives for power point if we use a jump Drive?

A: Prezi would probably be your best option.


Q:The presentation can be a video of you talking instead of doing it in front of the class?

A:Yes! Some of the very best presentations I have ever seen are ones that were completely packaged.


Q:What do you mean by having a "final thought”?

A: It is a Jerry Spring thing – he was a crazy talk show host in the 90s. At the end of the show he would take 30 seconds and share his thoughts on the topic …. This is your shot to take a second and say what you think about your topic.


Q: So you're telling me, that if I want to make a PowerPoint on the computer, I'm not allowed? Why? (I ask this because I am much better/familiar with PowerPoint on the computer and I feel like it would improve my overall presentation)

A: Yes, I am telling you that. I am purposely pushing you out of your comfort level and challenging you to work with new technology. Power point is old school anyway. You need more presentation tools for college.


Q:Ok so I know the Rio Salado women came and spoke to us. However, could we come to you to seek help on finding peer review sources?

A:It is a manner of you choosing the right database and selecting full text and peer reviewed/juried. On our Research Information sub page on our web page I gave you a list of the best places to search within the Rio database. You need to be patient and keep your search very open. If you need specific help – talk to me. This is why I have given so many in class work days.

Paper Clarification Questions

Q: What is a smart way to write the introduction an conclusion without including the information already in our history, extent, etc.? I'm having a difficult time with writing those paragraphs without being repetitive.

A: This is tricky – your intro should paint a picture of why this problem needs attention. Not in a narrative sense, don’t tell a story, but paint a picture of the intense effect this has on people today and how bad it will be if it isn’t corrected. Your intro and conclusion are short. With your conclusion I would maybe talk about why most people don’t take action against this, and then persuade that the reader that this is his/her moment! Remember though – everything has to be in third person!

Paper Clarification QuestionsPaper Clarification Questions

Q: I was wondering if we will be doing a peer review on turn it in.com for our rough draft ? I think it would be helpful if we had a peer review or have you look over our rough drafts. Just an idea! but other than that, the vocabulary requirements is making my paper more difficult to write.

A: We have a few peer editing activities we will do. You can always make an appointment with me to come in and talk about your paper. Yes, the vocab is tricky – start by picking those easy words that are more neutral. I know you hate adding vocab, but you need to be challenged to elevate your word choice. Sorry! (Not sorry.)


Q: For the history paragraph is it solely for the history of the topic or can we include other ideas as well?

A:It is only the history – nothing else. You need to give the reader the appropriate background info on your problem. You need your reader on the same page as you before you move forward.


Q: I'm good, me and Rachel have a musical planned.

A:Fantastic! Can’t wait! I hope there is a sing along option. I really love to sing loudly.


Q: Is there a certain page limit ?

A: No, there are required paragraphs and sentence requirements. Use the planning sheet for the CI Research paper to help you. Remember that your intro and conclusion are 5-7 sentences and body paragraphs 7-10 sentences.


Q: I don't have a creative source and am not sure if I will be able to find one, but I will continue to look.

A:If you can’t find one – it is okay. You can replace it with something else. But as you search, consider: Ted Talks, searching YouTube, and even interviews.


Q: Will we have any more work days? I feel that I can get a good amount of things done or squared away that will help me for my research paper?

A: One more for sure.
