Pairs Presentation Assignment

Directions
Research and create a PowerPoint presentation on your designated topic.  The presentation should be substantial, providing comprehensive information to the class.  Your purpose is to educate the class on a topic that is related directly to multimedia design, production, and/or management.  The topics also relate to the multimedia industry and multimedia careers.  The presentation length is up to you, but should last roughly 20-30 minutes with discussion, demonstrations (if applicable), and questions. Be creative in your presentation design and delivery.


Presentations are worth 100 points and will be evaluated based on the rubric further down this page.
