National Health Observances Assignment

Purpose: To make an automatic presentation to promote awareness of a national health-related or physical activity-related observance.

Assignment: To create a slide show using Powerpoint that will be suitable for display on a plasma screen. The show will create awareness of a national health observance. The show should be between 4-5 slides, fully automated, and custom animated. It should be graphic-rich. It should loop and play continuously. You will narrate the presentation and, ultimately, convert it to a video podcast.

It should include a title slide with the title of your health observance, images that enhance your presentation, fun or trivia facts if appropriate, resources for help if appropriate, and effects that will keep the viewer interested in viewing your presentation to the end. Use Microsoft Office Online to secure an appropriate background for your slide or make your own. Do not use a standard template that comes with Powerpoint.

Links: Use these links to locate an appropriate health observance. You must select your observance from the months that occur during the semester. Post your choice to the class discussion board. First come first serve; no duplication allowed.

Resources:

Evaluation : You will be evaluated using the generic scoring rubric. Presentations that are engaging, presented on a unique background, statistically accurate, image-rich, and animated in interesting ways will receive the highest grades. You will present your health observance slides to the class, providing an introduction to the topic and narration.
