PowerPoint Requirements:

    5-7 Slides, think carefully about your slide topics

    a typical show might include 1-2 slides of important background information and 4-6 slides on specific case studies related to your topic

    get your text outline in first, then look for images and improve your design

    this is a kiosk style presentation, it needs to be self explanatory

    no font smaller than 32, titles need to be at least 44

    contrast between text and background is critical (you need lots of it!!!)

There will be an essay on the test, big shocker...

You will need to compare and contrast the various types of totalitarian dictators (fascist and communist) and the leadership style of Ghandi.
