Icebreaker

In groups creating slideshows:   Three Gorges Dam( and this), One Child Policy , Taiwan (Cross Straits)  Question, Climate Change (and this is amazing), or  Uyghurs in Xinjiang.  Start with the linked resources.  These are baseline resources; be sure to include updated information from a variety of resources, including at least one documentary film. A minimum of three resources are required.  

Include who, what, where, when, how, why, so what and sources information in your slideshow--  it might make sense to initially create one slide for  each, creating more slides in each of the categories as needed.

Some friendly advice about using the slideshow format well:

Title slide. Create a title slide that contains the title of your presentation and your name, title, and affiliation.

Include visual information.  Pictures, charts, etc make a better slideshow.

Show, not tell. Use slides to provide visual aids, to illustrate points, or provide back-up. Use your presentation to elaborate.

Brevity. Keep the content simple and concise; use a different slide for each primary idea. Using five or fewer words for each title and 20 or fewer words per slide enhances readability.  Use a substantial font size--  18 or greater as a baseline.

Reader-friendly colors and fonts. A light background will help make the slide legible and also make any slide print-outs easier to read. Black (or dark-colored) words are the easiest to read. DO NOT USE ALL CAPITALS or a complicated font, which may be difficult to read.

Practice, practice, practice. Public speaking is a learned skill!
