Produce an Executive Summary of (no less than) three or (no more than) four pages. The summary should be double-spaced with one-inch margins, Times New Roman or Arial font, 11 or 12 point font size, with one staple for binding. Do not include a cover page--place your name and date at the very beginning of the summary under an appropriate title. List your three sources at the end of your summary. It is not necessary to attach the articles.

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 3-5 slides (no less or no more). Utilize the presentation techniques as described in Looking Good in Presentations (Joss). Include graphics to enhance your audience's understanding of the topic.

Attach and Email your presentation to your Yahoo! account so that you can download and open it for the presentation.  Alternatively, bring your presentation to class on a floppy diskette.
