This should not be a reproduction of your proposal; rather it is to share information about your proposal with your instructor.PowerPoint Presentation Guidelines To create your Final Course Project PowerPoint Presentation, you should not copy and paste large sections of text from your written proposal. A PowerPoint presentation is different from a written report. Your slides should include only the main points from your proposal, and these main points should be condensed into short phrases and explanations. Your PowerPoint presentation should include the following elements: The presentation should include 9-10 slides, including the Title Slide. It is important to ensure your instructor can follow your presentation and understand what you are communicating. You will not be recording your voice; you will be giving your instructor your script directly on the slides themselves and in the dialog box.The presentation should include: Title SlidePurpose Statement SlidesAudience SlidesProblem SlidesOriginal and Creative Solution SlidesVisuals that enhance your presentationTitle Slide Your title slide should include the following:An appropriate title for your proposal presentationThe name of this course (in place of the name of the company preparing the proposal)The author's nameThe date of the presentationPurpose Statement (1-2 slides) Include the purpose statement from your project. Add a reflective statement if you think you have fulfilled the purpose of the project.Audience (1 slide) Your slides should explain who the audience of your proposal includes and what their needs are. Tell how you will overcome skepticism. What objections do you anticipate? Problem Section (2-3 slides) Just as you did in the written proposal, you must prove that a serious problem exists. You may want to answer these questions about your problem: How long has the problem existed?Is it worse now? Why?What are some relevant statistics?What are other people doing to solve similar problems?Original and Creative Solution Section (2-3 slides) Your slides should briefly outline the change you propose and want approved. Your solution should be directly related to the problem you just documented and be appropriate to the audience you've described.Again, please remember that PowerPoint slides should use short phrases and explanations, not complete paragraphs from your written proposal. You should consider using visuals in this section if you cite numerical data to support your plan. In the overall format of your PowerPoint slides, please use the following guideline: Use an appropriate design template. Assume that your presentation will be given in a "bright" room (with the lights on).The following resources may help you as you create your PowerPoint and cite your sources: Creating a PowerPointCiting Sources in a PowerPointA Word on Visuals...Make sure your visuals explain, support, or enhance your presentation.

Diversity Discussion 7 Mr. Perez is a 76-year-old Mexican American who was recently diagnosed with a slow heartbeat requiring an implanted pacemaker. Mr. Perez has been married for 51 years and has 6 adult children (three daughters aged 50, 48, and 42; three sons aged 47, 45, and 36), 11 grandchildren; and 2 great grandchildren. The youngest boy lives three houses down from Mr. and Mrs. Perez. The other children, except the second-oldest daughter, live within 3 to 10 miles from their parents. The second-oldest daughter is a registered nurse and lives out of state. All members of the family except for Mr. Perez were born in the United States. He was born in Monterrey, Mexico, and immigrated to the United States at the age of 18 in order to work and send money back to the family in Mexico. Mr. Perez has returned to Mexico throughout the years to visit and has lived in Texas ever since. He is retired from work in a machine shop. Mr. Perez has one living older brother who lives within 5 miles. All members of the family speak Spanish and English fluently. The Perez family is Catholic, as evidenced by the religious items hanging on the wall and prayer books and rosary on the coffee table. Statues of St. Jude and Our Lady of Guadalupe are on the living room table. Mr. and Mrs. Perez have made many mandas (bequests) to pray for the health of the family, including one to thank God for the healthy birth of all the children, especially after the doctor had discouraged them from having any more children after the complicated birth of their first child. The family attends Mass together every Sunday morning and then meets for breakfast chorizo at a local restaurant frequented by many of their church’s other parishioner families. Mr. Perez believes his health and the health of his family are in the hands of God. The Perez family lives in a modest four-bedroom ranch home that they bought 22 years ago. The home is in a predominantly Mexican American neighborhood located in the La Loma section of town. Mr. and Mrs. Perez are active in the church and neighborhood community. The Perez home is usually occupied by many people and has always been the gathering place for the family. During his years of employment, Mr. Perez was the sole provider for the family and now receives social security checks and a pension. Mrs. Perez is also retired and receives a small pension for a short work period as a teacher’s aide. Mr. and Mrs. Perez count on their nurse daughter to guide them and advise on their health care. Mr. Perez visits a curandero for medicinal folk remedies. Mrs. Perez is the provider of spiritual, physical, and emotional care for the family. In addition, their nurse daughter is always present during any major surgeries or procedures. Mrs. Perez and her daughter the nurse will be caring for Mr. Perez during his procedure for a pacemaker. Explain the significance of family and kinship for the Perez family. Describe the importance of religion and God for the Perez family. Identify two stereotypes about Mexican Americans that were dispelled in this case with the Perez family. What is the role of Mrs. Perez in this family?
