Sixth Grade Presentation Project on Middle, New, and Kingdom of Kush

We've been learning about the Middle and New Kingdoms of Egypt and the Kingdom of Kush in class. Recently we've started looking at how to make our Keynote presentations even better. Our current project is to combine both.

Students have been given a skeleton of a Keynote slideshow with ten slides. Students may not change the theme, but they may add text to slides, or change the order. Students must add ten slides of their own and prepare a presentation on the three Kingdoms that lasts between two and five minutes. They may discuss the pharoahs, the religious changes, similarities and differences, etc.

Students will be graded on the following

• is their presentation between two and five minutes?
• are there at least twenty slides in the presentation? (ten from the starter and ten added)
• is there only one point on each slide? (per our class discussion on good presentations—the only exception can be introductory and summary slides)
• is there only one image per slide?
• is the image pixelated or watermarked?
• is there a structure to the presentation?
• is the student giving a meaningful presentation? (per our class discussion)

The slideshow and presentation is due on next Thursday, February 27th.
