=Project 7.2- Hello. I am a Totalitarian Dictator Expert!= In this Project, you will be assigned a topic that has to do with a Totalitarian Dictator. You will present your topic to the class for a grade. The most important thing to remember is that you are telling the story of your topic. I do not want you to regurgitate what you read word for word. I want you to know your topic like the back of your hand so that you can tell the story of your topic. We will take notes on your topic but we do not want to write huge blocks of text. Please highlight what you want us to take notes on and keep it short! You should only have three to four sentences on each slide at the most. Here are the requirements. Follow them closely.

1. You must have four sources each. At the end of the presentation, you must each have your own works cited page. Only 1 of your sources can be a .com. The rest should be .org or .edu. The sources must be cited MLA style and all images must be cited as well. 2. You must come up with a nice looking title page that uses the same title I have given you. 3. Each question is a slide and you must have one slide that is just an image. 4. You must have an image on each slide. 5. You image slide should tell the story in and of its self. It should captivate. You must be able to talk about you image slide and what it represents. 6. You will be graded down for reading off your slides constantly. Note Cards or Paper Notes are strongly recommended. If you don't need any and you can give a great presentation then that is even better. However, don't read your slides.

This is worth 30 points.
