Mr. Shupp and Ms. Orr English 9 / English 11 Multimedia Presentation and Research Extravaganza

You have an amazing opportunity presenting itself to you. You, as a group, are going to choose a controversial topic that affects society. This is a topic of your choice; it may not, however, deal with lowering the drinking age, the legalization of drugs, or abortion. It must also be an issue that exists outside of the school. Once the topic is chosen, you are going to perform the necessary research, then present a multimedia presentation that is no less than 8 minutes and no longer than 12 minutes.
