Like in the previous unit, you will read the information on the webpages and create a slideshow presentation from the information you found. This time, however, you will compare and contrast the two careers you have been assigned. Your presentation should be 5-10 minutes long and include at least 10 slides. Remember:

  • Good slides might include pictures, charts, graphs or a few words. They should not be large blocks of text.
  • Do not just read the slides. Talk about the slides in a natural way, showing your understanding of the material. 
  • Other students have not read your webpage. Be sure to explain anything that they don't know.
  • Include information you would like to know about an unfamiliar job, such as responsibilities, salary, and educational requirements.
