GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
Presentations MUST have at least 5 pictures for EACH topic – make your visuals awesome
- each picture needs to have a BRIEF description, whether verbally &/or visually

Presentation CANNOT be longer than 20 minutes
You MUST be present for your presentation to receive the group grade *

group member to present the entire project.
Your group will be held to high standards & expectations during your daily CPU lab research time – “participation & productivity” will be graded
SUGGESTIONS:
Exchange phone numbers & email addresses with your group members so you can communicate outside of school
As you research & create a presentation, focus on the BACKGROUND (tell the story of how we got to this point in the war, fit the topic into WWI) & BIG PICTURE IMPORTANCE (significance – why is it important? why are we learning about it?)
