Reporting Your Project
Persuasively present your decisions based on your information.

Now is the time to present your ideas to the Council of the Gods at the Acropolis. You will need to persuade the Council that your candidate is the best possible choice to succeed Zeus. By a miracle of heavenly powers, the Acropolis has been wired for electricity and you will be able to make a PowerPoint presentation. 

Your PowerPoint presentation will contain the following information:

  • Title slide
  • Introduction to candidate that includes what they symbolize, their beliefs, and a brief history
  • Individual weaknesses
  • Individual strengths
  • How will Greek civilization change under their leadership?
  • How will Greek civilization remain the same?
  • Compare to other candidates – why is your candidate the best choice?
  • Concluding endorsement
  • Citation of sources used (See Citing Sources for Writing & Research)

Your presentation will be scored using the Presentation RubricNext.
