Major Causes of World War I
Use Bullet points and clear phrases – not full paragraphs. This should be the information explaining the topic/title of the slide.
Provide main points in bullets and include a quote from the source to support your claims somewhere on the slide. Remember 85% or more of the slide should be in your own words – if you include a quote be sure to put it in quotation marks and cite it.
Cite all information you used from a source even when explaining it in your own words.
This is where you will format your information into bullet points.
Look at the bullet points you for this slide in the information section. Now write a speech in paragraph form where you explain EACH bullet in more detail. Give some of the examples that support the bullet points from your text (just explain in your own words, do not read straight sentences from the articles).

Making Connections
This is where you connect the historical events, issues, trends you just discussed to today. What do they teach us? What are the similarities to issues going on today and how can we use what you have learned today as we encounter those similarities? Or what have we learned to prevent those problems or address similar issues etc. etc.? What predictions can we make?
