Unit 5 Gilded Age
Extra Credit Opportunity
Create a presentation in Google Docs or a Prezi on a portion of your assigned reading and present (...yes stand in front of class and speak) it to the class when we return on Nov 26. Slides should have key details/facts in bullets- NOT SENTENCES FROM THE TEXT OR INTERNET. Include a slide with a quote or political cartoon and be prepared to break it down to the class. I have included two handouts with helpful hints for Prezi- there are also tutorial videos available online. You may also do the Google Doc presentation which is essentially a PPT. Do not use a font smaller than 32. I have divided the class into groups to hopefully spread out the material. Based on your last name, you will present on the pages indicated. Email me the link to your Google doc ( be sure to make the link viewable to others with the link in the share settings) or Prezi to ramosclass@gmail by 8 pm on Sunday November 25th.
