What to Submit
To complete this project, you must submit the following:

Bongo Screen Share
Submit a 3- to 5-minute audiovisual recording of your presentation using the Screen Share setting in Bongo. Make sure that your slides are the larger visual and your image, if shown, is smaller. Sources should be orally cited according to APA style.

Due to Bongo’s technical capabilities, downloading your presentation may result in two separate files (one for audio and one for video) as opposed to one file that includes both. If this occurs, please upload both files to Brightspace.

Speaker Notes
Submit speaker notes using the provided template. Sources should be cited according to APA style. It is suggested that you use your Informative Speech Outline from the Module Four discussion to assist you in the creation of your speaker notes.

PowerPoint Presentation
Submit a PowerPoint presentation of 5–7 slides (not including title and reference slides). Sources should be cited according to APA style.
