This is for a Geology course. The Power Point will be over Yosemite National Parks Geological features. I would like you to include information on the major formations in the park like the Sierra Nevada mountain range information on Bridal Veil Falls, El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Valley and Cathedral Peak.
Here are the instructions from the professor: Be sure to review the course project directions here before completing this assignment.
Create a PowerPoint that has the visuals you are planning to present in your video. Include and consider the following:
1. Show how do you plan to introduce your park/capture the viewers attention.
2. Show the specific geologic content you plan to share about the park.
Be sure to showcase your knowledge of the geology of your park. Go into detail on its formation. Below are some things to consider although this in not an exclusive list.
Describe significant geologic features.
Describe the specific rock types are present and how/when did they get there.
Explain the unique geologic processes that have shaped your park.
Give a summary of geologic events that were essential to the formation for your park.
3. Use effective visuals that showcase the park’s geologic beauty and illustrate the key geologic processes.
High quality photos (give credit on the slide)
Schematic diagrams/cartoon images that help to explain processes
Short video clips
4. This should be a rough draft of the slides you plan to use for the final video. Use the notes feature to show me what you plan to explain for each slide. This can be summarized or a full script depending on your preference. Show me that you understand some of the the specific geologic details.
5. There is no specific slide format required here. Place it in a format that look clean and well organized, but is engaging to the viewer. Please avoid excessive text. You don’t need to do the video part yet. This is for me to see the research you have done and to give you a chance to prepare for the video.
6. List 5-10 research references in a consistent format of your choice.
7. If you need assistance with creating slides, visit the How-to Resources! page for step-by-step guides on using Google Slides, PowerPoint, and capturing screenshots using different devices.
I will attach a outline feel free to use it if you would like.
