The document discusses alternative story forms that can be used to convey news online instead of the standard inverted pyramid format. It provides examples of different types of alternative story forms like timelines, checklists, Q&As, and databases. The document also notes that a study by Poynter found that alternative story forms help readers better understand information and draw more attention than regular text. It suggests these forms work well for fact-heavy stories by presenting numbers, times, locations, and other data in a structured way.

Research Paper
Using the Powerpoint presentation for inspiration, research a technology, idea or concept that you would like to see implemented in the field of public health, food security, public art, or climate change adaptation to address an issue or problem you have identified. Your goal is to write a short paper in which you try to convince your audience to adopt this new technology, concept or idea. This paper is based on the concept of a policy briefing, though we will be adapting the format to suit our needs.
Audience: your audience should be a person or group of people who have the capacity to implement the technology, idea or concept you are proposing. For example, if you think that a great climate change adaptation idea is to build porous sidewalks and alleys as they have in Chicago and other cities, then you would address your paper to city council. If you think that Camosun College should have more public art, then you would address your paper to Camosun College Administration. So do a bit of research and discover whom to address your paper to.
Tone and Terminology: Make sure that the tone you use in your writing is appropriate. In most cases, your tone should be professional and concise. Avoid jargon that your audience would not know. (And please remember that I need to understand what you are writing). Your goal is to communicate, not to confuse.
Purpose: Your purpose is to persuade your reader to adopt the technology, idea or concept that you are presenting. Make sure to inform your reader what the current issue or problem is, as well as how it will be addressed by adopting the technology, idea or concept you propose. To do this, you will have to research what the current dialogue or conversation on the topic is. A strong persuasive paper will inclu.

HIS 100 Project 3: Multimedia Presentation Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
“If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.”
—Pearl Buck
Your final longer-term project in this course is to complete a multimedia presentation. The work you did on the Topic Exploration Worksheet in Theme 1 and the
historical context and introduction in Theme 3 will directly support your work on this project.
One of the prime benefits of studying history is that it allows us to learn about who we are and where we came from. The people and events of the past can
often shed light on the conditions and social norms of the present. Having historical awareness can inform various aspects of your life as well as future
aspirations. Learning from past failures and successes can shape ideals and values for years to come.
This final longer-term project is designed to help you understand the fundamental processes and value of studying history. In the first project, you completed
the Topic Exploration Worksheet on one of the topics or themes from the library guide. You investigated the types of research you might need to do to learn
more about the topic and developed research questions. In Project 2, you used this worksheet to complete a research plan and introduction. You selected one of
your research questions and did some secondary-source research, speculated on primary source needs, and used the information to write the introduction and
thesis statement for a possible research paper.
In this third project, you will create a multimedia presentation that explores both major developments in historical inquiry and the value of examining history.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
Investigate major developments in the progression of historical inquiry for informing critical questions related to historical narrative
Articulate the value of examining historical events for their impact on contemporary issues
Prompt
Now that you have done some research with primary and secondary sources (using sources from the library guide for your chosen topic) and written an
introduction for a possible history paper, you will turn your attention to thinking about the creation and value of historical inquiry. You will use the research you
have done throughout this course, as well as course materials, to inform your thoughts. To present your opinions and observations, you will create a multimedia
presentation (using a presentation tool such as PowerPoint or Prezi) that addresses the following critical elements. While these questions may seem “big,”
remember that you are addressing them in a presentation, not a paper, and can use bullet points, visuals, or other methods. These critical elements will be
evaluated from the information you provide in your multimedia presentation. Note: If using Prezi, be sure to include a Word document with notes. If using
PowerPoint, be sure to use the speaker notes feature. ...

HIS 100 Project 3: Multimedia Presentation Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
“If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.”
—Pearl Buck
Your final longer-term project in this course is to complete a multimedia presentation. The work you did on the Topic Exploration Worksheet in Theme 1 and the
historical context and introduction in Theme 3 will directly support your work on this project.
One of the prime benefits of studying history is that it allows us to learn about who we are and where we came from. The people and events of the past can
often shed light on the conditions and social norms of the present. Having historical awareness can inform various aspects of your life as well as future
aspirations. Learning from past failures and successes can shape ideals and values for years to come.
This final longer-term project is designed to help you understand the fundamental processes and value of studying history. In the first project, you completed
the Topic Exploration Worksheet on one of the topics or themes from the library guide. You investigated the types of research you might need to do to learn
more about the topic and developed research questions. In Project 2, you used this worksheet to complete a research plan and introduction. You selected one of
your research questions and did some secondary-source research, speculated on primary source needs, and used the information to write the introduction and
thesis statement for a possible research paper.
In this third project, you will create a multimedia presentation that explores both major developments in historical inquiry and the value of examining history.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
Investigate major developments in the progression of historical inquiry for informing critical questions related to historical narrative
Articulate the value of examining historical events for their impact on contemporary issues
Prompt
Now that you have done some research with primary and secondary sources (using sources from the library guide for your chosen topic) and written an
introduction for a possible history paper, you will turn your attention to thinking about the creation and value of historical inquiry. You will use the research you
have done throughout this course, as well as course materials, to inform your thoughts. To present your opinions and observations, you will create a multimedia
presentation (using a presentation tool such as PowerPoint or Prezi) that addresses the following critical elements. While these questions may seem “big,”
remember that you are addressing them in a presentation, not a paper, and can use bullet points, visuals, or other methods. These critical elements will be
evaluated from the information you provide in your multimedia presentation. Note: If using Prezi, be sure to include a Word document with notes. If using
PowerPoint, be sure to use the speaker notes feature. ...

News You Can Lose Presentation
This document summarizes the challenges facing the newspaper industry and local journalism. It notes that newspapers are important for "accountability journalism" that investigates corruption, but their business model has been disrupted by the internet. Classified advertising revenues that were once very profitable have largely moved online to sites like Craigslist. As a result, newspaper readership and revenues have sharply declined. While some people would miss newspapers, most do not think their absence would significantly hurt civic life or that they would personally miss reading them. There is a concern that without watchdogs, government corruption could rise. What is needed is journalism, not necessarily newspapers.
