Japanese Culture Power Point Project Worksheet

Purpose: To learn about Japanese cultural symbols and how they define, or give us clues to, national identity.

Due Date: 

What I need to do:

Develop a team of 3 to 4 students.
Create a total of 5 Power Point slides (1 slide will be the title slide with the topic and the names of the people in group. 2-3 slides about topic. 1 slide will be a bibliography with the Web sites and other sources of information listed.)
I must use the Internet to get information and graphics.
I may include "appropriate" music, sound, video, and animation on slides.

Steps: Please check each item off as you finish it.

  1. Browse through the topics on the Web Site List or on www.jinjapan.org/kidsweb and find a topic that you are interested in that has to do with Japanese Culture.

    My topic is ________________________________
  2. Click on the Microsoft Power Point icon and set up your five slides in order and save them onto a computer drive or disk where they will NOT be erased and you can access them easily.
  3. Visit web sites and download graphics onto a disk or drive where you can keep documents that will not be erased. List the Web sites that you are using on paper as well, for your reference and for your bibliography slide.

    Web sites that I visited and will use for graphics and information:
    __________________________________________________
    __________________________________________________
    __________________________________________________
    __________________________________________________
    __________________________________________________
    __________________________________________________
  4. Read about and take notes on your topic. Cut and paste quotes and/or information to use for your presentation slides.
  5. Title the first slide with your topic name and the names of the people in your group. Title the last slide "BIBLIOGRAPHY". Also when filling the other three slides remember to insert plenty of graphics and information.
  6. Add sound, video, animation, or music.
  7. When you have spell checked and completed all five slides sign up to be graded by the teacher and be prepared to share your presentation with the class.
