The Civil Rights Movement

Final Project
·         Your Final Project will be a Powerpoint presentation that focuses on a movement/group/campaign that you can see yourself being part of. It can be an existing one, or you can create one. You will define how you can contribute and why.
When making your choice, you MUST refer to the definitions of social movements in your text (starting on page 134) and make sure what you have chosen fits the criteria. If not, please ask me or your TA about your idea. THIS IS THE #1 THING LEFT OUT OF PAPERS THAT RESULTS IN AN AUTOMATIC 3-POINT DEDUCTION!What your presentation should include:
3-4 slides–description of the movement you have chosen or created. This should assist the viewer in understanding some brief history of this movement, and it’s current impact (if any). If you are creating a new movement, you will want to give some historical context and cite other movements that have influenced your choice. Describe what kind of movement it is, as stated in the directions above and on page 134. YouMUST reference the text. 3-4 slides–description of why you chose or created this movement. This section should focus in on you and your connection to this movement. Inform the viewer of why you chose this movement, your personal beliefs on the issue, and/or the type of social change you hope to accomplish. 3-4 slides–your role or contribution. This section should delve into the organizational aspects of the movement. Share how you see yourself involved and explicitly state your role or how you’d like to contribute. 3-4 slides–how you’re going to help initiate change. This section is about your action plan. How are you going to do what you propose doing? Explain/show the specific parts of your plan. (You can combine 3 & 4, as there may be a lot of overlap) 3-4 slides–how you envision the future (with the assistance of this movement). If all goes as you envision, what will the future look like? What will be different and how will this movement sustain itself in the long term? + 1 reference slide (not included in minimum/maximum) 15-slide MINIMUM, 20-slide MAXIMUM While this is an approximation of how many slides per section, YOU MUST CLEARLY LABEL YOUR SLIDES SO THAT IT’S OBVIOUS THAT EACH SECTION WAS COVERED.
·         FOLLOW THE RUBRIC BELOW!!!
References
·         Make sure to review the Sources and Citations tutorial in the navigation bar This is a research-based project
You MUST use at least THREE different sources and cite them appropriately Your text does NOT count as one of your source, nor does ANY textbookAt least TWO sources must be from peer-reviewed sources; they can’t all be websites. You can download articles off the internet and that is fine because that is still considered a literary sources (because it’s an article). One of your three sources cannot be your text since you MUST cite it, as stated in “About your project.” Branch out and find research on your specific topic. Sources to use:
·         Read this: Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed Literature vs. Popular Literature Scholarly books Scholarly websites that site their sources with full references Primary and Secondary Resources (Relevant) Movies and documentaries (ask first) may be used for ONE of your THREE SOURCE Other media (ask first) may be used for ONE of your THREE SOURCE
·         You may use popular literature for ONE of your THREE sources, i.e. Time Magazine, New York Times
Check the FAQs for more info You must state how your choice is a movement (reference your text) You MUST have a reference slide at the end ALL YOUR CITATIONS MUST BE IN APA FORMAT Sources NOT to use(IF YOU USE ANY OF THESE, YOU WILL GET AN AUTOMATIC 5-POINT DEDUCTION PER SOURCE)
·         Wikipedia Tabloid magazines Internet sources that do not cite
their sources Sites that anyone can edit TV shows (documentaries, okay, but ask first) Presentation Tips
·         Per the rubric below, there are
20-points dedicated to “Process Components” or graphics and media. You MUST include these elements. If you include a video LABEL IT AS A VIDEO. Type “VIDEO” above or below it. Sometimes it appears to just be a picture. Powerpoint enables you to include images and media and expand creative expression of your mastery. INCLUDE THEM! However, sometimes it does not give you enough space to convey clear messages or include a lot of text. Suggestions include:
·         Be concise. Get to the point and focus on the salient issues for the educated reader. These are for your peers and instructor, not the novice audience. Have images and text share space so that pictures or media links are not “dangling” without explanation.
·         Check the examples in Week 5
