Assignment:
This Final Project Milestone functions as a partial first draft of your Final Project. It provides the opportunity to consult with your Instructor for guidance, ensure that you are on track for completing your final slides/web pages, and make adjustments to parts of your project before final submission.
Complete each of the slides/web pages as described. Remember to record information about your sources throughout your project, including author, year, page number, and publication title. You will need to include these as a final slide with both the milestone submission (at least four sources) and the final submission (at least four more sources). Your sources will help you support your opinion with facts, research, and expert's ideas, and you will need to credit those sources in your work.
This week, you will submit a presentation or web pages that address the following:
• Slide/web page 1: Identify the medium you have chosen and the reason for choosing that particular medium.
• Slide/web page 2: Analyze the evolution of your chosen medium. To do this, show how it has changed over time.
• Slide/web page 3: Evaluate the significance of your chosen medium. Describe how the significance of your medium has changed over time, as well. Has it become more or less significant? What other factors have influenced its significance?
• Slide/web page 4: Analyze how the evolution of your chosen medium affects the way you experience that media today in your career, in your community, etc.
• Slide/web page 5: Identify five important people who helped to develop or grow your chosen medium during its evolution. (In Week 5, you will analyze their contributions.)
