Utopian Presentataions (for now) April 22 and April 23
Utopia Project and Presentation Guidelines
Introduction:
In her book, Anthem, Ayn Rand creates a perfect world. People have always tried to improve their lives by improving the world around them. Many have created new governments, new villages, and new ways of living. Some have worked well; others have failed.
Task:
What kind of perfect world would you make?You have three tasks.
First, you will research real communities of people from history (past and present) who have tried or are trying to create a utopia.
Second, you will work to come up with your own definition of “utopia.”
These activities will help you achieve your final task of creating a powerpoint presentation detailing your own "utopia." These powerpoints will be presented in class.
Requirements:
You will be graded on the worksheet, the poem/paper, the powerpoint, and the presentation.. The assignment will be worth 150 points. Make sure to include all of the following:
Society Explanation Requirements (Paper of 2-5 pages, MLA, double spaced)
1. Religion
2. Economic System
3. Educational System
4. Government
5. Legal System
Powerpoint Requirements
1. Name of Society
2. Explanation of how your society functions
3. Explanation of how your society is perfect
4. Illustrations of the important systems in your society
Part One: Complete the research worksheet on Utopias (some of it done in class)
Part Two: Define utopia by creating an acrostic poem using the word "utopia." The poem is your cover page to your typed paper describing your Utopian society.
Part Three: Once you have completed Part One and Part Two, plan a powerpoint so that you may visually and orally share your information and insights with your class. Your presentation will focus on what you believe would make a successful “utopian society.”

~Ashton Clay was here (or so they say)
power point presentations are usually used in presenting proposals or reports. In both cases, the presentor can choose to use either a formal or interactive approach. Formal presentations refer to those which involve a first part which is dedicated solely to presenting without interaction with the audience and audience interaction or participation is scheduled after the presentation. On the other hand, interactive presentations are those which encourage or solicit interaction or participation from the audience during the presentation. Specifically, the audience is involved in every slide of the presentation.
