You will base your presentation on your research paper topic. Attribution: All works and illustrations used in your paper must be cited; this means crediting the source where you found the information you used to support your work. If you fail to give credit for copyrighted information you present as your own work, that constitutes plagiarism, and will be penalized by a zero for the project. Citing Sources: Works used – This is the source material you used to support your research project. Works consulted – You probably looked at many sources before you located usable material, and you deserve credit for this research. Your work will be considered for credit for works consulted; list your preliminary sources as consulted works. Presentations Goals: Display your ability to research and deliver information as a career skill. Creative presentation ideas are welcome; use your imagination! Develop public speaking skills. If you have stage fright, this is the best way to overcome it! Play the part of instructor. Instructing others will be a part of your career. Oddly enough, some people even enjoy teaching! Format: Length 10 to 15 minutes. Rehearse and time your presentation Visual Aids Use of slideshows and the whiteboard are strongly encouraged Handouts Acceptable if of lasting value –create something students can use later Attribution / Citations: You took care of these in your paper. List your sources in your presentation, or offer to share them with the class. Closing the Presentation: When you have finished your presentation, remember to ask the courtesy question: "Are there any questions?" Suggested Research Paper Topics 1.
