My slideshow from last year (we'll see this again later): media type="custom" key="7991574"


 * //Step 1: Pick a sports figure from the list below.//**

Hank Aaron Muhammad Ali Roone Arledge Arthur Ashe Paul “Bear” Bryant Joe DiMaggio Chris Evert Wayne Gretzky Magic Johnson Michael Jordan Billie Jean King (and Bobby Riggs) Vince Lombardi Joe Louis Mickey Mantle Willie Mays Mark McGwire Joe Namath Martina Navratilova Nike Oscar Robertson Jackie Robinson O.J. Simpson Ted Turner Babe Didriksen Zaharias


 * //Step 2: Find Sources.//** Encyclopedias, online or otherwise, are a good place to start, but especially consider magazine or journal articles. There’s no need to dig into full-fledged biographical works or other books on your figure, though a chapter in a book or a more extensive review of a book could be helpful. Keep a bibliography ([|Noodlebib] would be useful!) of the sources you find and use. You need at least **three** published sources (not wikipedia or other encyclopedias; not websites; newspaper or magazine or journal articles, in print or found online, are ideal). (20 points)

Create a general outline for a brief, 5-minute slideshow presentation that will include visual images and key information regarding the accomplishments, the contributions, and the significance of your figure to sports and society! I want interesting. I hate boring slide shows (birthdate, place of birth, died in, etc. just isn’t that interesting, unless there’s some real reason that makes it interesting). Avoid plagiarism! That means recognizing sources with the context of your presentation or including footnotes. (20 points)
 * //Step 3: Storyboard a slideshow.//**

In Powerpoint or Keynote… Be creative, but include substance! I really care about significant athletic accomplishments, but most importantly social significance (100 points)
 * //Step 4: Create your slideshow.//**


 * //Step 5: Present.//** When we cover your figure in our reading for the first time, we’ll use your slideshow to enhance our understanding of that figure and his/her/its contributions. Your slideshow should be largely self-explanatory, but your comments and answers to our questions will contribute, too. (40 points)
