For this assignment, imagine that you have been invited to your local middle or high school to deliver a presentation on the dangers of alcohol and tobacco use.
Instructions
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation that would be appropriate to attract the attention of this age group. Make sure to include the following points:
Inform them of the risks involved, and dissuade them from starting or continuing use of these substances.
Create discussion points that focus on alternative activities to drinking, methods for dealing with peer pressure to drink, and dispel myths or misconceptions of alcohol use and the effects of the body.
You may use appropriate charts, or graphics, visuals, or other effects to support your presentation. Each slide must be accompanied by speaker notes (the area below each slide) of at least 100-150 words. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.
PowerPoint tip: Keep the words on each slide brief (such as bulleted points or captions) and include most of the information you would be presenting in the speaker notes area for each slide. Also, make use of images that will serve as conversation starters or promote dialogue.
Length: 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide)
Notes Length: 100 – 150 words for each slide.
Resources: Support your presentation by at least 5 outside references; 2 may be from scholarly websites. The remaining 3 should be from peer-reviewed journals published within the past 5 years. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included. Be sure to include a reference list as notes to the final slide.
Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style.
