Presentation Assignment: Exploring Both Sides of a Debate

Objective:
Use a PowerPoint presentation to explore and evaluate both sides of a debatable topic.

Instructions:
Choose a topic that has two clear sides or opposing viewpoints. This could range from serious topics like the death penalty to lighter debates such as whether dogs should be allowed on beaches during the summer. As long as there are valid arguments on both sides, the topic can be used.

Create a PowerPoint presentation with 7 to 10 slides that includes the following:

• Title Slide with the name of your presentation and your information
   
• Introduction Slide that introduces your topic and gives a brief overview
   
• Slides presenting each side of the argument clearly and fairly
   
• Slides listing the pros and cons of each side
   
• Visuals such as images, charts, or graphics that enhance the presentation
   
• In-text citations where appropriate
   
• Final slide with a References list in current APA format
   

You may also include voiceovers or speaker notes if you wish to enhance your presentation. Be sure the content is clear, engaging, and informative.

Tips:

• Use bullet points and visuals to keep slides clean and easy to follow
   
• Aim for balance in presenting both sides
   
• Have fun while being respectful of differing opinions
