Week 6
In our final week of this class, the biggest part is completing your final project. To help you with that, we have a few things to do. If we look at the learning outcomes for the week, the first one listed is that you will create a media presentation that addresses a need in your school or community. Of course, you will also supply a paper that describes how you are going to start your specific community project but you’ll notice that you are also going to evaluate the process of creating a program. A wonderful, short, video on such a presentation that covers many of the topics required for your final project can be seen at this link:

. Please take 4 minutes and watch!
In the discussion for this week you are asked to create a draft outline of your final project and post it. It will be really important for you to post his early this week as you can so that others will be able to see and provide feedback for your outline. You are posting this outline for your classmates to review so that you will be more certain that you are covering all the bases. When you read each other’s outlines, please provide instructive recommendation and specific suggestions on how to improve the organization and ideas.
In the Journal for this week, you are asked to think about the process of developing your initiative. There are some sentence starters would you may use but please do not write just a sentence each of these. Take some time to expand on the thoughts and write reflectively about your work in creating the project.
The final project is composed of three parts. In the first part, you will create a multimedia presentation that shows to the public what your idea is all about. For a wonderful, and easy to understand, presentation on how to make a multimedia presentation, please see:

. The second part asks you to create visual resources and handouts to go along with the presentation. The final part is an extensive discussion to introduce and support your initiative. In the post that assignment there are very specific points, or an outline, of topics that you must include. Please also review the rubric that will be used to evaluate your assignment. You may find helpful descriptors of what quality work will look like for this assignment.
