Presentation Prewriting Assignment Instructions
Throughout your college career, you will be required to create presentations. In Module/Week 7, you will create a PowerPoint Presentation to demonstrate your favorite learning experiences in this course. In order to prepare for the presentation and to practice utilizing academic writing strategies, you will first create a graphic organizer OR a properly formatted outline to help you arrange your thoughts. (Syllabus MLO: B and Module 6 LOs: 1, 3. Depending on chosen subtopics, Syllabus MLOs: A, C, D, E, and F may also be met.)
To develop your graphic organizer or outline, use the beginning steps of the SOW AND REAP process found in Chapter 9 of your textbook:
- Study the instructions and grading expectations.
Review the Prewriting Assignment Grading Rubric to gain an understanding of the grading expectations for this assignment. Remember that you will complete either an outline OR a graphic organizer. Also, it is important to review the instructions and rubric for the PowerPoint Presentation in Module/Week 7 because this prewriting assignment is the foundation for the presentation.[unique_solution]
- Obtain a main topic.
The main topic for your assignment has already been chosen for you. In your presentation, you will discuss your favorite learning experiences in this course.
- Write down a list of subtopics that complement the main topic.
According to the PowerPoint Presentation Instructions, you need to choose one learning experience or skill from each of the 3 provided categories: Academic Research and Writing, Affective Learning, and Technology. Your choices will be your subtopics for your outline or organizer. See the list below and on the next page to determine your selections. Once you have made your selections, put them into your outline/organizer.

- Acquire resources and quotes that will add support to your subtopics.
On the graphic organizer or outline, add supporting details to your subtopics. Provide at least two supporting details for each subtopic. Note that for the final presentation, your sub-points will be focused on what you learned and why the skill is important. Therefore, this information should appear in your outline or organizer as well.
- Number the subtopics in a logical order.
On the graphic organizer or outline, determine in which order you will present your 3 subtopics. Do this using Roman numerals. Then, determine in which order you will present any supporting details for your subtopics and organize these using capital letters. Further detail may be added using numerals. (See the Sample Outline and Sample Graphic Organizer)
Once you have gone through these elements of the SOW AND REAP process, you are ready to put your graphic organizer or outline in the proper format. (See the sample documents for both the graphic organizer and the presentation outline.) Save the document and submit it.
