Help With My Presentation

Unread postby Skeletor » Wed 03 Nov 2004, 21:55:41

Alrighty,

First, a small amount of information about this project to give you an idea of what is going on. I am a second-year Grade 12 (pretty much OAC/Grade 13) student in a high school in Ontario, Canada. My World Issues class teacher has alloted me two 75 minute (class length) periods in which to do a presentation to the class on the peak oil theory.

During the first period I plan to have the class watch 'The End of Suburbia' and during the second period I plan to do a presentation and then have a discussion with the class. This is where I am running into problems. See, I want the presentation to be approximately 30-35 minutes in length to allow enough time for a half-decent discussion to occur. I am having problems deciding on exactly what to present in the presentation as so far I only have my format done, as I have chosen the Question and Answer one.

What Questions/Answers should I present? I can't really think of anything other than basic things such as 'What is Peak Oil?' and the like. I don't want each question/answer to be massive in proportion, however I am planning to do up some fact sheets for myself to help explain topics in greater depth. It's not that I don't know a great deal about peak oil, in fact I have been studying it since summer, it's just that I have reached an obstruction somewhat like writer's block and I am unsure as to how I should proceed.

Thanks.

Post your format & let people comment
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

My format is simply Question and Answer, I am having no problems with that part. My problem is coming up with questions. Probably should have clarified that. My fault.

Q & A?

Go to:

www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net

The guy who runs the site, Matt Savinar, has written an entire BOOK in Q&A format about Peak Oil and its aftermath. I believe he has sample text from the book on the site. Check the click buttons. I believe he has a way to reach him, too--I'm sure he'd be glad to assist you in this project! Try it, anyway, and see what happens. Let me know on this board. There are other options, if this one doesn't work out....

Good on you, to choose this topic! Hope you get an A+++++!! :)
