This assignment requires you to:
1. Collect and compile a range of photos/graphics about your future chosen profession within an identified organisation. Respond to the question prompts a) - j) (no text except for heading).
2. Find or take photos of the subject matter you would like to present and create a PowerPoint slide show of around 10 slides (each slide may have multiple pictures as long as they are thematically linked). Your PowerPoints should be visual, not text-based, although you must have a clear title to address a) – i). You must provide explanations for your graphics in NOTE FORM in the click to add notes” section below each slide. If you do not do this, you will receive zero marks. Please be sure to reference your graphics and information using the Harvard system in the “click to add notes” section beneath each slide or in the footer of the slide (preferable). Please follow the order a-i above.
3. You will be assessed on:
• Your clear presentation of the organisation and the INDUSTRY.
• Your choice of visuals.
• Your ability to address all the prompts and identify them in your presentation.
• Your ability to explain how the organisation relates to your chosen future profession.

Please refer to the following checklist for preparing your presentation.
