This assignment requires you to create a PowerPoint presentation to explain the two-party political system used in the United States and to describe both the Democratic and Republican parties’ actions and functions during a presidential election. You should discuss each party and its respective process to select a nominee for president, identifying each step of the process. It may be helpful to choose a particular presidential election and follow the candidates, from announcing their candidacy to their selection as the party nominee. Your PowerPoint presentation must consist of 10 to 14 slides, not counting the title and reference slides. Provide three to four pictures, maps, or graphs that will illustrate important points in your presentation. These should be used on a slide and not put on a slide separately without explanation. Your slides should elaborate on the points above. You may include additional information that you feel is relevant, but do not create more than 14 slides. Use your creativity and organize the material in a logical and understandable manner. Use APA formatting for all references used on each slide. You must use at least three outside sources. Focus on using academic and scholarly sources. Please refrain from utilizing the speaker notes function within PowerPoint. Cite on each slide when sources are used to support your points. |
