 * //What decade in our history has made the most impact? //**

**Description:** A portion of a decade in our history will be chosen by a group to research. The overall goal is to create a multimedia presentation that will make an impact on their audience with your use of imagery and music from their chosen era of history. Each will choose one element of their research to write a short script to narrate.

**The Content:** Gather information and images that effectively depict the decade. Each student will use music on file to edit, mix, and insert into their portion of the show. All aspects of the decade on a local, national, and global scale should be researched. Make sure your images when enlarged are crystal clear. Use text sparingly, but use it when needed to explain the relevance of an event, person, or idea represented in a chosen image. Keep track of your sources to use in your closing credits. You must cite your research.

**Technical requirements:** Your PowerPoint must run without a click, be timed well with your music and narration, and designed if time allows without a template. You will use Photoshop or Paint to develop your own unique backgrounds. Make sure that your backgrounds do not overwhelm your imagery or the message of your show. You will receive extra credit if you can provide pictures of family or local events of the time. This will add a personal element to the show and give you the opportunity to use the scanner.

1. Research, gather images and information that defines your topic area. 2. Use blank PowerPoint to organize your show. 3. If time allows, design your background and apply it to your show. Write script for one slide and narrate it in Audacity. 4. Blend music unique to your decade you’re your narration. 5. Time show.
