Submission:

1) One pptx file – Presentation - 10 Microsoft PowerPoint slides. Add notes on every slide which you will present in class.

2) One docx file – The student will record the voice (as though you are presenting to an audience) and embed the audio within your PowerPoint (slide by slide). Your job is to also complete the word document - see attached file named as “Complete this.docx”

 

Task Overview:

This assessment represents an important stage in writing your Assessment 4 final essay. Assessment is to draw up a clear plan of how you will organise and reference your ideas in your final essay. This plan will then guide your writing for your essay, keeping the overall structure clear and the paragraphs on topic.

It provides an opportunity to get feedback on your essay plan and review and refine your ideas before you start writing. You will also build and practice the important academic skills of presenting information verbally and visually.

 

To successfully pass this subject you need to complete the below:

1) Assessment 1:– COMPLETED SEE ATTACHED 2) Assessment 2:– COMPLETED SEE ATTACHED 3) Assessment 3: Presentation YOU NEED TO DO THIS NOW! 4) Assessment 4: Final Essay (2200 words)

 

Task Details:

Create and present a PowerPoint presentation of your essay plan for your final essay.

The presentation will show the ideas you plan to write about in your final essay, as well as the references you plan to include and your essay’s organisation.

Your 10 slides must use the following structure:

· Slide 1: Provide your topic title (clearly indicating your chosen scenario and scope).

· Slide 2: Provide a draft thesis statement (key argument responding to the assessment task) for your essay in one or two sentences.

· Slide 3: Provide background for your chosen scenario, including the stakeholders. Include supporting evidence.

· Slide 4: Provide a definition of sustainability (with citation) and one or two sentences explaining how it reflects the concerns and responses in your chosen scenario.

· Slide 5: Include a graphic (visual) representation of your essay plan for your chosen scenario. This can be a taxonomy, providing it is clear and accurate (a template is attached). Add citations to reflect evidence used across the presentation.

· Slides 6, 7 & 8: Explain the key sustainability concerns and responses you plan to write about in your final essay for each dimension (social, environmental, and economic).

Allow one slide per dimension. These concerns and responses should be the same as those included in your essay plan/taxonomy on slide 5. Include supporting evidence for the concerns and responses discussed.

· Slide 9: In the formal bibliographic (referencing) style of the current APA guide, list the most relevant publications that you have engaged with so far.

· Slide 10: Conclude your presentation by reflecting on your progress towards the final essay. This slide should indicate an action plan and any further research that you still need to do to complete your final essay.

NB: At this stage you will have decided on most of the key ideas (topics and sub-topics) that your essay will cover and have engaged with the research process.

 

Suggestions to help you complete these tasks:

· Read the task description carefully, so you include all required information;

· Select a design template to ensure that your slides appear consistent in look and feel;

· Select appropriate images that portray your slide’s message and purpose.

· For images that you use, reference each with its own web address directly under the image; references for images should not be added to slide 9 (which is a ‘bibliography’) that shows the references for the publications you use. However, when speaking to slide 9, consider explaining how and why some of your listed publications relate to the three dimensions and/or your thesis statement;

· Add citations to your slides to support the ideas discussed;

· Make slides readable and attractive from distance – minimum 24-point font; o Keep slides uncluttered – use bullet points rather than full sentences; o Do not read slides – use the slides to support what you are saying; o Use an academic tone – not colloquial language.

 

See attached a template that shows what we expect you to cover in your essay plan on slide 5. This example diagram does not include any details (ideas or publications) that specifically relate to any essay – but we expect you to include such details.
