Week 4, Step 2. Create a PowerPoint Week 4, Step 2. Create a PowerPoin – Description
You may work alone or with one partner on this PowerPoint presentation. You will go through the textbook for your slide creation. Each slide goes in order according to the textbook. Your PowerPoint will consist of the following slides:
Slide 1: Introduction with Name, Title, and Date
Slide 2 :I would like to see a diagram or chart of the information included in the “Classification of Criminal Offenses in Texas” (p. 11). This is not a simple cut-and-paste job. I would you to present this information differently, creatively, colorfully, and helpfully. See how you might present this information in a way that is easier to read and understand.
Slide 3: Under Gideon v. Wainwright, persons have a constitutional right to an attorney (p.17). On this slide, answer these questions. How does Texas provide attorney services to all citizens? Is this system fair? Why or why not? There should be at least five bullet points here. You must answer the “why” to get full credit.
Slide 4: Based on the section on p. 24, answer “How Fair is the Texas Criminal Justice System?” Summarize the section with at least five bullet points taken from the textbook. Then, provide your opinion.
Slide 5:On p. 26, the book states the following: “In Texas, there has been an increased emphasis (albeit gradually) on community supervision and rehabilitation programs, such as drug treatment programs and electronic monitoring of offenders, with less emphasis on incarceration as a first response solution to crime. Costs for probation are estimated at 10% of the cost of prison. Similarly, while incarceration is around $50 a day, parole supervision costs $4a day.” Answer the following questions with at least five bullet points. What is your opinion on this information? Please include at least five sentences. Include at least one idea of another state looking for more rehabilitative practices, rather than, incarceration, in criminal justice. Cite your source.
Slide 6:Define civil liberties and civil rights, and describe the Fourth Amendment. This should have at least seven bullet points.
Slide 7:Describe the Fifth Amendment. Five bullet points
Slide 8:Describe the Sixth Amendment. Five bullet points
Slide 9:Describe the Eighth Amendment. Five bullet points
Slide 10:Today, Texas’ prison system is operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. They own many of the prisons. However, according to our textbook, “Texas was the first state to use private prisons. Proponents of private prisons argued that they would increase the quality of care by improving rehabilitation and reducing recidivism rates. Opponents to privatizing incarceration in Texas argue that profit incentives may put financial gain above the public interest of safety and rehabilitation.” Do some Internet research. Do you support privatization of prisons? Why or why not? Find a reliable source to back up your options. Cite your source. You must have at least ten bullet points or pieces of information.
Slide 11:“Thank you” slide
Every slide should include a picture. Please cite the source of the picture. Please write to me with any questions. Here is the breakdown of grading:
Information on slide: 55%, 5% for each slide
Citation of sources: 15%
Grammar:15%
Organization and aesthetic of presentation: 15%
