Flood Case Study In-Class Activity
• With your partners, read the flood case study associated with your group number below; • While reading, take note of the following details: 1. ** WHEN ** did the flood occur? 2. ** WHERE ** did the flood occur? 3. ** WHY ** did the flood occur (i.e. what caused the flood?) 4. **WHO ** was impacted by the flood? 5. ** WHAT ** was the response to the flood? • With the above information, create a concise, yet effective PowerPoint presentation about the flood and its impacts with your partners. Keep in mind the //Tips for Good PowerPoint Presentations// below as you and your partners work together on the presentation; • You should have no more than 5 slides and include at least 3 images (1 per slide) that support the detail presented;

• **When you are finished with the PowerPoint, save the final draft to my Drop Folder (caitken – ISB Geography – Flood Case Studies - your class letter );**
• Be prepared to present the details of your flood case study in a 2 minute presentation to the class. • You have 45 minutes to complete the task, after which you will present your case study.

** Tips for Good PowerPoint Presentations ** ** -Create easy to read slides with limited amounts of text (NO MORE **
 * THAN 10 WORDS). Too much information on a slide can detract from the presentation **.
 * -Make sure text (writing) is legible and clearly visible against any images or backgrounds.**
 * -Be sure to use a simple, large font, 28 pt or larger.**
 * -Animate only words, phrases, sentences or graphics. DON’T OVER USE ANIMATIONS!**
 * -Background and animations should not be complicated or distract your audience. Use visuals only if they are necessary to keep up audience interest.**
 * -Figures and photographs should be clear and easy to understand in a short period of time.**
 * -Choose a background you like, and that will complement your text and images.**
 * -Pictures and graphics should help keep an audience's attention.**
 * -Everything on each slide should be easily seen and read from the back of the room.**
