Thinglink Basic Requirements

This is to be your oral presentation of the material in your research project.  You should have already created your truism that reflects your person’s feelings & thoughts on life in general as your interactive visual aide.  Now you will add the tags that will guide your presentation. You should plan to talk about 3-5 minutes about your subject.  Remember, you are NOT telling us every single fact about him or her—only the HIGHLIGHTS that support your basic assertion.  YOU are NOT creating anything NEW for a Thinglink; you are sharing resources that you have found.  Here are some basic requirements and some suggestions for your Thinglink tags:

Required—

1.     Truism with 2 pictures (one of your person & one that represents the truism)

2.     Assertion—YOUR FINAL assertion. 

3.     At least ONE link to a video that is appropriate

4.     At least ONE link to another website that has pictures of your person

5.     At least ONE link to another source that you used for your research

You will tell us about your person by scrolling through the links, the video & the photographs you have chosen to share.  Each link or tag on your Thinglink is like a virtual PPT slide or notecard and should prompt you in what you will share with your audience.  You MAY have a notecard to help you, but you MAY NOT read from anything on your Thinglink.  You should practice your presentations SEVERAL times at home because you will be graded for the ORAL presentation on this portion of your project. I will be grading you in several areas:  preparedness, thoroughness, attention to detail, oral presentation skills (loudness, projection, clarity, etc.)

Suggested—

1.     A video clip of him or her speaking or being spoken about (only pick about 30 seconds to share)

2.     Something showing a timeline of important life events

3.     Archived documents that tell something about your person

4.     Music, speeches or other sound clips about/by your person

5.     A map of his/her travels, areas of influence, etc.

6.     Anything you think is relevant, interesting, worth sharing
