Climate and Disease. Discuss how climate and disease have shaped Western Civilization throughout our course through examples from at least four different weeks’ readings. Provide one slide explaining which you think had the biggest impact and why and another slide explaining whether you think the same is true today. (Example slide layout: title, climate or disease 1, climate or disease 2, climate or disease 3, climate or disease 4, which had the biggest impact and why, which is most impactful today, image bibliography, source bibliography = 9 slides)
The goal of this final written assignment is to put everything we learned over the last eight weeks together. Choose one of the following prompts and create a PowerPoint Presentation to address the requirements.
Your PowerPoint must have a title slide with a title for the presentation and your name. You must have at least six content slides, a slide with citations for the images you include, and a slide with citations for your source material / documents. You will have, therefore, a minimum of nine slides.
You must provide appropriate MLA, APA, or Chicago style citations for your sources. If you need help with any of the citation styles, there are guides within the APUS Online Library. I am also happy to help with any questions you may have.
Although this is a PowerPoint Presentation, you must provide full sentences rather than phrases. This requirement is in place of a written or audio script. Each content slide must have at least five sentences to explain your choice. Before beginning your explanations, you need to identify your person, event, place, etc. as a sort of subtitle for the slide.
You are welcome to choose your background, font, font color, etc. Your work must be easily readable, though. You may submit your work as a PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx) or as a PDF.
