Short Take Mini Presentation I chose for my presentation Climate Change 1. The main problem that you focused on for your Final Project a. What the problem is, who it affects, why is it a problem? 2. The three potential solutions you (and your group or team, if collaborating) evaluated a. What are the solutions? What part or parts of the problem could they solve? 3. Your thesis and "so what" a. What is the key finding from your analysis? Why does it matter? Guess the movie.... 1. Once upon a time there was ... a widowed fish, named Marlin, who was extremely protective of his only son, Nemo. 2. Every day, Marlin warned Nemo of the ocean's dangers and implored him not to swim far away. 3. One day, in an act of defiance, Nemo ignores his father's warnings and swims into the open water. 4. Because of that, he is captured by a diver and ends up in the fish tank of a dentist in Sydney. 5. Because of that, Marlin sets off on a journey to recover Nemo, enlisting the help of other sea creatures along the way. 6. Until finally, Marlin and Nemo find each other, reunite and learn that love depends on trust. The problem/solution/significance structure of your presentation fits into the "Pixar Pitch" format, but we need to adjust it a bit. The classic format focuses more on identifying problems than solutions: 1. Once upon a time there was ... a widowed fish, named Marlin, who was extremely protective of his only son, 5. Nemo [context] Every day, Marlin warned Nemo of the ocean's dangers and implored him not to swim far away. [problem] One day, in an act of defiance, Nemo ignores his father's warnings and swims into the open water. [problem]| Because of that, he is captured by a diver and ends up in the fish tank of a dentist in Sydney. [problem]| Because of that, Marlin sets off on a journey to recover Nemo, enlisting the help of other sea creatures along the way. [solution] Until finally, Marlin and Nemo find each other, reunite and learn that love depends on trust. [significance] The problem/ solution/significance structure of your presentation fits into the "Pixar Pitch" format, but we need to adjust it a bit. Our adjustments will help to focus on solutions: 1. Once upon a time there was ... [start by defining your problem] 2. Every day ... [explain why it is a problem, who it affects, and its economic/ environmental/social dimensions] 3. Because of that...[introduce the solutions you decided to study] 4. We found... [summarize your project's solutions] 5. Because of that... [summarize your evaluation of those solutions] 6. Until finally ... [present your thesis and the significance of your findings]
