Power Point Lesson Plan

By: Eric K Sapp Blue Springs R-IV School District

created using MS Word

Working in-groups of two you will research information about the Five Themes of Geography for the United States. You will need to find pictures and information to give examples for each of the themes. Finally you will compile your research and pictures to create a Power Point presentation that relates the Five themes for the region.

Complete the following steps for your project:

Using your textbook, encyclopedias and almanacs to research each of the Five Themes as they apply to the United States.
Use the World Atlas, Multimedia Encyclopedia CD-ROMS and the Internet to find pictures to use as examples for each of the Five Themes.
Sketch out a storyboard as a rough draft for your Power Point presentation (must be approved before moving on to step IV.)
Create a Power Point presentation that has a minimum of seven slides.

Title slide that includes the names of the group members.
Minimum of one slide for each of the Five Themes with pictures.
Bibliography citing all references used.
All slides must have transitions and may include the following: sounds, hyperlinks, and video clips (keep these to a minimum to conserve space).

Present final product to the class.

You and your partner must discuss and decide on the best way to divide the work evenly so both of you contribute equally to the project!
