Future Research Presentation

Today, you will be working on a presentation on the career or college of your choice.

Your goal in making this presentation is to market this college or career to others (make them want to do it).

Please download and read the instructions below (or in the attached file). They tell you exactly how you will be graded and what needs to be in your presentation.

Career and education options – you be the teacher

Your topic is: ________________________________________________

To help your classmates and yourself explore options for the future, you will be preparing a presentation about a job, company, career, college, or branch of the military to share with the class.

Objective: to sell your topic by giving a presentation using Open Office Impress. For example, if you choose the University of Texas – your goal is to convince people to go to college there.

Due: Must be ready to present on Wednesday, November 2, 2011

If you choose a college or trade school, you must cover:

• • Admission requirements

  • Possible majors (not all, but hit the highlights)

  • Costs

  • Location of college

  • Housing

  • Financial aid

  • Activities

  • Sports

  • Any special traditions/if any

If you choose a job, career, or branch of the military, you must cover:

• • What people with this occupation do (be very descriptive/detailed)

  • Why this occupation is important

  • What makes it a good field to work in

  • Training, education, or certification requirements

  • Skills that you need to be successful

  • Companies that you can work for

  • What is the average starting pay? What is the most you can expect to earn in this field?

Helpful hints:

Remember when giving a presentation, less is better on the screen. Also, a maximum of six lines of text per page is best. It is better not to type in complete sentences, but to put only the important information (using bullets) on the screen. Also, use light color text on a dark background or dark text on a light background (be careful of putting text on top of a picture – the text may blend in and be hard to read). Do not use pictures as backgrounds unless it is very easy to read the text you put on top of them.
