Step 3: Create a Powerpoint slide presentation using the guidelines below:

Your PowerPoint slides must be accessible. In addition to accessibility, you must include the 6 following parts to your PowerPoint slides. You do not have to present this to us or other students. 

• Slide 1 – Describe/Define the Disability Justice Movement?
  – What is Disability Justice? Include the definition and cite your source of the definition.
  – Provide an image that represents disability justice in the context of your topic or issue. Your image must be accessible (it must include alt text description).

Slide 2 – Describe/Define First Point or Argument of Chosen Topic
–What is one angle, point, or argument of your chosen topic and what is one way that it relates to disability justice (facts, quotes, arguments, controversy, etc.
-Provide an image that represents disability justice in the context of this angle, point, or argument. Your image must be accessible (it must include alt text description).

Slide 3 – Describe/Define Second Point or Argument of Chosen Topic

• Slide 4 – Personal Reflection
  – Why did you pick this topic? What is your personal motivation or connection to it?
  – Was anything uncomfortable and why (controversial, conflicting, confronting, explain)?

  – Put your bulleted main ideas in the slide itself.
  – Put a more detailed reflection paragraph in the notes section of your reflection slide.

  This is the basic outline. It is the bare minimum required. If you discover the need to include more slides in order to accommodate more points or arguments, you may do so. We suggest no more than 8 slides.

All Slides – Accessibility
– You must check the accessibility of your Powerpoint slide deck prior to submitting.
– To check accessibility, go to “Review.” Then go to “Check Accessibility.” This will guide you in ensuring that your Powerpoint is accessible to screen readers and other assistive technology that readers may be using.
