A Vibrant Journey Through Mexico

Generated from prompt:

For your final, you will be creating a multimedia presentation about a country we have covered in this course. This is the country you chose earlier in the year and all ready did the research on. Your presentation must cover where it is located in the world, the culture, the cuisine, the flag, a brief history, and what goods they export. You will present this country in anyway you chose, as long as you stick to the 2-5 minute time limit, as you will lose points for going too long or not long enough. You will also be graded on your creativity, as I don't want just a slide deck, I want you to flex your creative muscles and create a presentation. I will say this again, DO NOT MAKE JUST A POWER POINT OR SLIDE SHOW. You have plenty of time to research, experiment and create something unique to you and your country.  You MUST present this final to the class. Don't like standing up in front of the entire class? Get creative! The only rule is there must be spoken words included. If you refer back to you assignment "Start Your Research," most of the information you need for this project you have all ready found and organized.  Make your information POP!! Is there a native dance? include video or Gifs. What is their native music? Having playing in the background. Anything you can do creatively will be a bonus! Also, since this is a research project, you will be expected to provide a works cited page at the end or included with your project. Please ensure you are using the MyBib website (https://www.mybib.com/#/) that way you can guarantee you have the page correctly formatted. What you will be graded on (80 points possible): 5 points - "Start Your Research" assignment turned in and on time 5 points - Length of presentation (2-4 minutes) 5 points - creativity 15 points - Information is well organized 5 points - A correct works cited page turned in on time 5 points - narration 40 Points total for the following information included: -- Location - 4 -- Brief History - 10 -- Culture - 8 -- Cuisine (food) - 5 -- The flag and what it means - 4 -- Holidays (minimum three major) - 4 -- Exported goods (minimum five) - 5
