__Creating A Powerful and Informative Slideshow__ Racism and Abuse of Power

Students Will Be Able To:
 * Search the internet for photographs which can legally be used in a slideshow which they will create
 * Accurately and fully give attribution to these photos
 * Create a slideshow containing images, music, narration and statistics which effectively engages and informs its intended audience.
 * Give coherent, objective responses to questions regarding the decisions they made while creating their final slideshow
 * Give coherent, objective responses to questions regarding the sources, computation and meaning of the statistics used.
 * Assess their work as well as the work of others using a rubric

Time Needed: Three to four 90 min. Project Blocks

Materials: Laptop, Statistics from previous activities.

Procedures:


 * 1) Drawing from the statistics they have generated in past activities as well as key concepts, ideas and terms, students will individually brainstorm key words to use while searching for photographs for their slideshow.
 * 2) Using this list, they will search Flickr.com for photographs. Students must create a word document which will store all of the attribution information (which they must copy from Flickr and paste into the word document.)
 * 3) Students will follow the process within PhotoStory in order to create their slideshow.
 * 4) After completing Draft 1 of the slideshow, students will fill out a self-assessment form using the activity rubric.
 * 5) Students will then view 2 other students’ slideshows and assess them using the same rubric. These filled in rubrics will be given to the students whose slideshow was assessed.
 * 6) Students will revise their slideshows based on the assessments.
 * 7) Before submitting their final draft, students will fill out an assessment of their thought process and reasons for making the decisions which led to the final draft of their slideshow.
 * 8) Students will submit their final drafts to the teacher via Project Foundry for preliminary assessment along with the final self-assessment.
