Overview: For this assignment, you will choose one segment from the series linked in the Reading and Resources section of Module Three and have the
opportunity to practice the communication and technical skills needed for Final Project Part Two. You will create a short PowerPoint presentation with an oral
narration using the PowerPoint narration tool. This will also allow you and your instructor to check that your technology works for this assignment, and to
troubleshoot any potential difficulties before the Final Project Part Two due. This activity must be submitted in PPTX format for your professor to give you
feedback on whether your technical components are correct.
Prompt: In your PowerPoint slides, use the PowerPoint narration tool to verbally record your answer to the following questions:
What are the challenges the characters face in overcoming problems in diversity? What are the benefits?
How does critically analyzing diversity add value to interactions with people in personal and professional contexts?
Throughout your short PowerPoint presentation, make sure you use effective multimedia and communication skills:
Construct your presentation in a way that ensures the audio and visual elements are logically organized in order to convey your message to your
audience.
Provide supporting evidence in your presentation that supports the importance of an issue or event in the segment and its impact within diversity.
Develop the audio narration to logically flow with the presentation to articulate the importance of critically analyzing an issue or event in the segment
and its impact within diversity.
Note: When you are recording the oral component of your presentation, a headset or external microphone is recommended for better results. However, you
can also use the microphone incorporated into your computer or cellphone. Use the Check File Compatibility With Earlier Versions and Are You Having Video or
Audio Playback Issues? resources from Microsoft to help you check compatibility between versions of Office.
