#2 Power Point
P.
Carter
You
have just purchased a new $1000. car stereo system for your Lex. You offer to drive your “homies” around to
show them what your car stereo “can do.”
The bass is so loud the car shakes and everything near it shakes until a
police car pulls up behind you and proceeds to write you a ticket for making so
much noise. You are furious. How can the government (police) tell you how
loud to play your stereo…after all, you spent good money on it and should be
able to play it as loud as you want.
This
scenario is based on the environmental issue of Noise Pollution. And the TIPS Public Policy Analyst can be
used as a guide to creating a Power Point presentation about this Public
problem and those Public problems that you individually explore.
You will each create a 6-10 slide power point presentation that
assimilates the 6 steps of a Public Policy Analyst and creatively projects your
acquired knowledge and your feelings on the subject.
Before
beginning your power point you should create a story board as a rough draft or
a template as to where you want to go.
In each of these slides on paper, brainstorm what you would like to see
there, what you would like it to say, and how you would like it to progress.
Go to the TIPS Webpage www.maxwell.syr.edu/plegal/tips/welcome.html
and find the six steps for
analyzing Public Policies.
·
Think of
how these six steps can be presented in your power point presentation of
your environmental issue.
·
The six
steps are as follows… (see TIPS Webpage- www.maxwell.syr.edu/plegal/tips/welcome.html):
1.
What is the
problem? http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/plegal/TIPS/worksheet1.html
In
my scenario, the problem was noise pollution.
2.
Where is the
evidence? http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/plegal/TIPS/worksheet2.html
Use the internet to find proof that this is a problem. Show proof that the problem does actually exist.
3.
What are the
causes of your problem? http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/plegal/TIPS/worksheet3.html
In my scenario, the cause of noise
pollution is continuous, loud noises that could damage the hearing of
individuals.
4.
Search the Internet
to find the existing policy handed down by the government on your topic. http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/plegal/TIPS/worksheet4.html
5.
What
policies can you create to correct the problem?
http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/plegal/TIPS/worksheet5.html
6.
Come up with
what you feel would be the best policy to correct the problem. http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/plegal/TIPS/worksheet6.html
Once you have direction, use Microsoft
Power Point, blank slides, text box, clip art, backgrounds, internet photos,
animation and any other tools that are available to complete a presentation
that is clear, concise, colorfully animated and flowing from beginning to end
while incorporating the 6 steps previously mentioned.
Your
presentation will be graded on your effectiveness and creativity in presenting
your information through this media.

Upon
completion of this assignment, students will have a deeper understanding of
some of the environmental issues around them, how the government controls these
issues and how they might help to control these same issues.
They will also gain the skills to create a power point presentation,
which will give them a tangible, positive learning experience, from which they
can build academically and in future careers.
