Students will create a Prezi presentation on one of the anthropology books and themes provided, with a focus on topics, examples, and relations between ideas. They must include an overview, zooming in and out of topics while expanding on points. Pictures, video, and audio can be added later. Students have two classes to work on detailed projects, and grades will reflect lack of sufficient detail. Themes include kinship, economic organization and environment, political organization, belief systems, moral systems, and societies in contact.
Anthropology Prezi Presentations on Societal Themes
1. Mr. Kuppens
IB Social and Cultural Anthropology
Prezi
You are going to create a account with Prezi. You will then be given a Book (Veiled Sentiments, The
Forest People or The Trobrianders of Papua New Guinea) and a theme. Students will create a
presentation and then show it to the class. Students will NOT go to any other website Except Prezi while
in class.
Students must have a topic overview, zoom in on a topic, expand on your point, then zoom out and
repeat. Students should show relation between topics and examples. Pictures, video and audio can be
added on the students time and it is not to be done in class.
You will have two classes to work on these projects. Projects must be detailed if students fail to put
sufficient detail their grade will reflect it.
