unpacking the rubric

Content:  
Use the textbook as both a source and a point of departure:
will it be a survey?  will you dig deeper on a topic?
IMPORTANT:  keep a list of the sources that you use and don't rely solely on Wikipedia.  Find at least two authentic sources for the information you put forward.

Creativity: 
YouTube video?  Interview of an expert?  Create a podcast?  Go with a skit?

Incorporation of Sound: 
find some way to use a recording in your presentation regarding the subject matter.


Presentation:  
Can you present your topic with humor?  Make it interesting for others?
