=Research Project:= Identify someone (or a group) who has committed a horrible atrocity against another person or group of people. Research to identify the who, what, when, where, why of the atrocity. Create a multi-media presentation that portrays the atrocity and presents a claim about the possibilities and limitations of forgiveness associated with this atrocity. Support claims with specific evidence from multiple sources.

TASK 3:Presentation (50%)
__Guidelines__:
 * 1) Presentation should be 3-5 minutes in length. Slideshows should be a minimum of 8-9 slides (depending on group size) with 1 being works cited. Slides should be equally divided among group members for responsibility. Make sure that these individual contributions create one smooth, cohesive presentation- not a big choppy mess!
 * 2) You will be graded on your use of graphics, text, etc. Make sure that slides are attractive, informative, and effective.
 * 3) You will be scored on your oral presentation skills as well. You will have to talk!!
 * 4) Every time you use a source (direct quotes, paraphrasing, or even just ideas), you MUST inslude the website at the bottom of your slide as a footer. I would expect you to do this on nearly every slide.
 * 5) You must finish your presentation with a Works Cited page. This will be in MLA format as we discussed and went over in class.
 * 6) Make sure you don't just summarize the information. In addition to teaching the class about this atrocity, make a claim about forgiveness and concentrate during your presentation on backing up that claim with evidence.

===Think about the rhetorical triangle... ===
 * Ethos- You will seem credible if you cite your research and seem reasonable and fair in your claims
 * Logos- Give us all of the facts. Back up your claims with evidence.
 * Pathos- Appeal to our emotions. Who will you humanize? If you are claiming that your subject is unforgivable, grab our heart-strings with the victims. If you are claiming that your subject is a victim as well, how can you make us see your subject as something other than a monster?
