Directions
1. Review the following links, or others you would like to consult, to formulate your ideas about Taxation Policy in the United States.
2. Construct a Power Point Briefing Presentation stating your views on this issue. The briefing should include a fair and balanced presentation of factual evidence in support of your position.
Power Point Briefing Presentation Rubric – “Taxation Policy”
Name, date, class, and professor’s name should be the first slide to keep assignments organized. Assume the second slide is the opening to your power point presentation. (This means that you are permitted a total of 26 slides, but only 25 slides have assignment content). Minimum/Maximum Number of Slides in Presentation: No fewer than 15, no more than 25. (With one additional slide for Name/Class Information – making 26 Slides to submit). Slides are for major presentation points. You are not to simply copy and paste information on to slides without editing the content for unnecessary words and phrases. Additional information and footnotes belong at the bottom space provided below each slide. Remember: Your task is NOT to summarize, but to take a position and make a case for that position by fulfilling the elements of the assignment outlined below. Please review the grading rubric for areas of information you need to include in your presentation.
Images: Use of images in Power Point Presentations can make slides more interesting and enrich content. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words!
