Civil War PowerPoint Presentation
Timeline of the Civil War - Prompt and Guidelines
Using PowerPoint, prepare an annotated timeline of the events that resulted in the Civil War. The timeline should be encompassed in 8-10 slides,
with images and a 1-2 paragraph description for each entry. Sources you may consult are the textbook and the GMC library. Cite all sources in APA
format in text and on a reference slide. When using images from the internet, you may use a free image site such as Wikimedia Commons.
Do not copy timeline events from the internet- your explanations should be written in your own words with cited references when applicable.

Grading criteria

Did not submit

stated, and it is
difficult to find
any meaning for
the project, or
many meanings
are stuck in at
random.
1 points
Topic, ideas or
thesis is stated,
but the thinking
is fuzzy, resulting
in a disorganized
focus. Topic is
understood but
unsupported.
2 points
Topic, ideas or
thesis is pretty
clear for the
intended
audience, but
needs
sharpening.
Interprets topic
and shows an
understanding of
material

Content
Did not submit
0 points
One idea maybe
apparent in
presentation-or
one example, but
nothing is
developed. An
obvious lack of
effort or research
is apparent.
1 points
Timeline is fairly
clear and follows
topic and ideas,
but tends to
remain stuck at
the abstract level.
All "tell" and no
"show."
Organization is
disjointed and
explanation of
events lacks
clarity enough to
impede the
meaning.
2 points
Same as prior,
but examples are
not as vivid, and
some of the
points remain at
the telling or
abstract level.
Some good
examples of
"show," but the
project overall is
not consistent in
presentation.
Organization and
structure may
need help. A
description is
included for each
entry but may
need further
development or
refinement.
3 points
Timeline is
developed to
"show," that is, to
be concrete and
scenic with
narrative rather
than just "tell"
with abstract
exposition.
Concrete
examples,
quotations,
anecdotes,
descriptions,
images etc. are
fully developed
in effective
proportion to
support the ideas
of the project.
Organization
and/or structure
are clear and
easy to follow. A
1-2 paragraph
description for
each entry
thoroughly
summarizes
content.
4 points
Presentation
Did not submit
0 points
An obvious lack
of effort went
into the design
of the
presentation.
Graphics are not
included or are
inappropriate.
The presentation
is not suitable for
an audience. Less
than 5 slides are
included.
1 points
gmc.mrooms3.net/mod/assign/view.php?id=3911739
The slides have
limited elements
of design. The
presentation
does not grab
the reader’s
attention and
graphics are not
included. Less
than 6 slides are
included.
2 points
The presentation
is appropriate
but may lack
elements of
design that
would make it
suitable for an
audience.
Graphics are
included but may
not correlate
with the
presentation. Too
much text on the
slide takes away
from the
presentation.
Less than 8 slides
are included
The presentation
grabs the
reader’s
attention. The
slides are
designed with
style and are
suitable to
present to an
audience.
Graphics are
included in
appropriate
places. Bullets
are concise and
text is easily
readable. 8-10
slides are
included.

1 points
Same as prior,
but more lapses
in grammar,

APA formatting is
presented but
overall incorrect.

Same as prior,
but with a few
minor lapses.

conclusion with
references as
required by the
assignment,
although
formatting may
be off.

diction are
appropriate to
