Economic Systems Individual Project I Guidelines Create a visual (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, or Prezi) presentation that addresses the concept of “Economic Systems” and investigate how it affects your community. This visual presentation should consist of approximately 5 slides, but no more than 10. Each slide (including the first and last one) should consist of a figure (photo, map, drawing, chart, etc.) next to a list of some 2-3 terms listed as bullets on the canvas. These terms should then be explained and well written in detail in the Notes section of each slide, supported with data you collected through direct observations and/or other sources such as your text, the Internet or other published material. If you borrow information, make sure you cite the source(s) and then list them as a reference at the end of the discussion. Research 1. Select one of the two economic systems below of your local economy and its related components that your believe are important to your community, which can included but it is not limited to the following: Agriculture: “farm workers,” “undocumented workers,” “packing industry” and “shipping.” Markets: “malls,” “mini-malls,” “ethnic products”, and “informal economies.” 2.

Consider he following questions as you conduct your research: How does the economic aspect affecting your community? How does the economic aspect affect your life at the local level?

Conclusion (1-2 slides) End your research by proposing a new perspective. For instance, you may consider the following questions: What has your analysis shown and what can we learn from it? How does it apply to contemporary times? Be creative and adventurous in your analysis. Tips: Use MS PowerPoint or Google Slides if possible. Each slide should have 2-3 bulleted terms on one half of the slide and the other half should have an image. You may put a title on each slide if you want. Put the minimum amount of text on each bullet, preferably just a term. These terms are in essence ideas that need to elaborated in detail in the Notes section, below the canvas when in Normal mode, so as to provide an in-depth discussion. Make sure you write the discussion in the Notes as if you were writing a paragraph of an essay, citing any information borrowed and then listing the references at the end of each Notes section. Remember, the idea of a visual presentation is so that you make it pleasing to the viewer by showing nice images. All the images, including your own, must be cited by putting the source in tiny letters in the lower part of the image itself and with a soft color tone.
