CUC100 Assessment 3: PowerPoint Presentation Page 1 of 2 Task: This assessment requires you to orally and visually present a plan of your final essay in the form of a PowerPoint or Prezi. Your 9 slides should include the following: • Slide 1: Provide your name and an orientation (background) to your chosen scenario; • Slide 2: Provide a relevant definition of sustainability that reflects the issues and potential solutions of your chosen scenario; • Slide 3: Provide your thesis statement (overall argument) in one or two sentences; • Slide 4: Include a graphic (visual) representation of your essay plan This can be either a taxonomy or visual outline providing it is clear and accurate; • Slides 5, 6 & 7: Explain the sustainability issues related to your chosen scenario from an environmental, social and economic point of view and briefly indicate potential solutions that could be argued for. Allow one slide per pillar and take the issues and solutions directly from your taxonomy or visual outline of the essay; • Slide 8: In formal bibliographic style, list the most relevant publications that you have found. Explain why and how they relate to each pillar and/or your thesis statement; • Slide 9: Conclude your presentation by reflecting on the progress of your essay so far. This slide may also indicate any questions you are still considering or further research that you still need to do. NB: This is not a final plan so we don't expect you to have covered everything you will discuss in your final essay, but we do expect you to have clearly started thinking about the different aspects of the possible topics and sub-topics in your essay.

This means: o Being engaging – varying your tone, using body language (internal students) and adding emphasis to certain words; o Making your slides readable and attractive from a distance; o Keeping your slides uncluttered – using bullet points rather than full sentences; o Speaking appropriately for an academic environment and considering word choice  Below is one example of an essay plan (slide 4) relating to particular issues of sustainability. You will need to choose a scenario from the list provided for Assessment 4 and present your plan like either example below or alternatively as a hierarchy of points/arguments/ideas down the page (using headings and sub-headings); a flowchart or a concept map.
