Instructions: Create a 7-10 slide PowerPoint
presentation with recorded voice over (4-5 minutes) and creative
elements that covers ONE of the topics bellow. Use the assigned sources listed with the
topic you chose and draw on concepts, definitions, fact, arguments, and world
views presented this semester. Upload your presentation to Lea.
Topic 1:
i. Pick one of the
following websites: the NCCIE ( https://www.nccie.ca/knowledge-space/) OR the First People’s Story Telling
Initiative (https://fppse.net/
) ii. identify the mission/purpose and leadership behind the website iii. provide an overview of what is included on
the website iv. identify a specific Indigenous-led project, organization,
movement etc. on the website that promotes cultural resurgence and/or
self-determination in a specific area/domain (education, arts, business,
healthcare, child services etc.) vi. connect your discussion to the history, world
view and present-day realities/context of colonization and the shift towards decolonization
v. discuss the worldviews behind decolonization. Please note: your power point must not only
use the article or video from the websites listed above but also draw on at
least 3 different documents, and multiple relevant concepts introduced this

topic counts towards the Indigenous Studies major.
Grading:
Content: 18 points
·
The voice-over/script
fulfills the criteria of the assigned topic.
In doing so, it identifies, discusses and state significance of the key
points in the assigned materials and connects them to the overarching topics
and themes of the course (world view, shifts, reciprocity, sustainability,
equity etc.) and provides in-depth detail and critical engagement
(vague/general/superficial discussion may earn failing grades). The voice-over/script is organized, accurate, academic,
makes use of proper terminology, is insightful, is clearly presented and has a narrative
arch. (Please note: I will not
collect/grade written copies of the script ) (10 points)
·
Verbal communication is well-paced, clear, organized. Key points are emphasized and the
speaker engages the listener and uses appropriate rhetorical strategies. (2 points)
·
The PowerPoint
has a clear, creative title that identifies the topic to be discussed. There is continuity of design in the PowerPoint
presentation. The layout and design of
the slides is simple, sharp, edited, organized, clear/easy to follow and
artistic and makes use of design techniques introduced in class (colour theory,
font, design, etc.). Images, giffs and videos on the PowerPoint slides are integrated
skillfully and artistically illustrate/teach the ideas/arguments being presented
in the voice-over in an engaging manner.
The colour, font, images and words on each PowerPoint slide match and
compliment the order or the ideas/arguments being made in the voice-over but
the power point slide does not include the entire written script word for word (Powerpoint
slides are not a place for showing the entire script- put your notes/script in
the note section at the bottom of the screen in the section that does not
appear to the viewer). The design
elements in the PowerPoint amplify and help teach the themes/ideas presented in
the voice-over in a tasteful, creative, and professional/academic manner. (6 points)
