**Notes*** please make sure you have you presentation on a flash drive before you come up and present. Also, if you are going to have music, please make sure your music file is on your flash drive.

**Note *** you are not limited to the following requirements for information but I should be able to see most of it, this is only an example to give you ideas:

a. When and where born, family background? Who were their parents? Are they married with their own children? How about do they have other siblings and what do they do?

b. Your last slides before ending your presentation should be current events that happened on the year they were born. Use the year to do your research.

c. How did they die and did they leave anything behind for use to remember them by?

d. What have they contributed to society/Charity do they own or participate in?

e. What type of professional were they “before” becoming famous and were they still famous or did they return to the “real world” like us before they died? Also what type of career goals did they have? Did they go to college, grad school?

f. I want to see a timeline from birth to death with the information in these questions and more.

g. Hobbies, quotes, special interests, special talents.

h. “Favorite” things, high school, childhood, what made them want to do what they did? How were they discovered? Are they still making money after death?

i. In your conclusion, explain why you picked this person? Were they a mentor to you that has inspired you to go into the same profession as they did? What is your interest in this person?

j. Spell Check and the Colors you choose are your friends. We should be able to read whatever you write so make sure that your pictures, videos, music, transitions and animation are on “POINT”.

k. When you are satisfied with your presentation, you will turn it into a video so that it is in Movie format then “zip” it and upload that file to Canvas before the due date.

FINAL PROJECT CSIS 115

DIGITAL STORYTELLING PROJECT

Students will use digital software and tell a “story” of someone’s past life. They will create the story from pictures, videos, etc. and use Power Point Only to create and turn their presentation to present their projects. Students will help us to see what made their person an everyday person besides being someone important. The presentations will take place Finals Week during regular class periods and every student is expected to attend in order to “support” their fellow classmates. If the student does not present their project and miss one of the days, their points will be forfeited and the student will receive a zero on attendance. Students should also arrive on “time” and be prepared to give their presentation. Each student will have 5 to 5.30 (no longer) minutes to present their story. **No excuses will be accepted as this is the Lab portion of the Final as we discussed in the syllabus during the first weeks of class**
