Prompt
Record and upload an oral & visual presentation that is 5 minutes in length. Your advocacy presentation is your opportunity to convince an audience of the legitimacy of your positions and the feasibility of your solutions.
The oral and visual elements should work together but not like they do in a conventional presentation in which the visual elements simply restate what you are delivering orally; with the exception of a thesis statement slide, you do not want to have slides full of text that simply reflect the exact statements you are making. You can deliver much more information with a couple good visuals than you can possibly talk about in 5 minutes. So you should make good use of your visual presentation; select important pieces of information and data and create visuals that argue for you without you having to describe all of the details they make visible.
Your presentation should:
be well paced (stay within the time limit!) and succinctly delivered
briefly describe the issue at the center of your research project
frame this problem with motives or warrants, which are current examples or incidents that show your audience that the problem you’re addressing and the solutions you’re advocating are alive and relevant right now
clearly present your thesis statement at it stands on the day you give your presentation
describe your solution: what it is, how to implement it, why it is feasible
defend your solution from at least one counterargument
give your audience a sense for the deep foundation of research on which your positions stand
demonstrate clearly how your oral arguments work together with the visual arguments, and how the visual arguments, on their own, articulate the depth and rigor of your thesis statement and your research.
