Your task is presenting one key element of an MIT Case Study to develop an informative speech of 4 and a half minutes (with a 30 second grace period) that summarizes your chosen/assigned case study in a way that is informative to your audience of junior-level business school classmates. In a way, your task is to teach them one key element of this case study. Keep in mind that what you emphasize may not be the “thesis” or “this is why the company made a good decision” element that is often present. Instead, you should focus on providing a concise and clear synthesis of one major aspect of the case. With the Amazon case from our sample speech, for example, you might make the company’s evolution and strategic development the major focus of your speech. That will be most of what you talk about, but you’d still want to briefly note/provide a basic explanation of the focus on long-term cash flow growth. Alternately, you might make that long-term cash flow choice the main focus of your speech, but you would still provide a very basic synthesis of the background/evolution of the company.
Your speech should have the normal components (introduction, conclusion, transitions, and a clear organizational structure) and should also do three key things: 1) Provide the necessary background information about the case study, 2) define key terms and concepts, and 3) provide a coherent and clear overview of at least one aspect of the case. You’ll necessarily have to select some things to emphasize and some things to pass briefly over. A strong clear thesis and preview will help your audience follow along. Practice, synthesis, and summary are crucial here. If you just try to present the whole case but cut it down to 4:30, you will struggle to complete the assignment and to reach the time limit. Instead, think of this informative speech as a new distinct thing that you are creating. With 4 and a half minutes, what are the key ideas of the case? What terms or concepts does your audience need to know to understand it? What background information is needed to grasp the case? What shared knowledge can you expect your audience to have and which terms will you need to explain? What quantitative data is crucial to the case and how can you present it verbally?
this assignment asks you to effectively use carefully-prepared visual aids. Many people create visual aids as their speech. That is, they open up Google Slides or PowerPoint and then create their whole speech by making slides. This makes for unclear speeches and ineffective visual aids! You’ll also need to teach certain terms or ideas. This assignment seems deceptively simple. Good summary is challenging, and it takes time and revision to do it well. We’re going to take that time with this assignment and the next one.
The task links to the following course-level learning objectives:
Determine when to effectively use visual technologies and speaking aids.
Habitually revise and edit work before making a presentation.
Produce examples of spoken and visual communication that are engaging, clear, professional, evidence-driven, ethical and persuasive
Evaluation:
The speech will be evaluated using the accompanying rubric. As the rubric indicates, there are three key things being assessed here: 1) Clarity—is there a clear thesis statement/view of the case, is the organization evident and sensible, and are background terms/ideas explained well?
2) Concision—does the speech fall within the time limits, carefully select what to focus on instead of trying to summarize everything equally, and cut out extra information? 3) Delivery—does the speech show careful practice, strong use of visual aids (including effective physical delivery of slides), extemporaneous speaking, good eye contact?
NOTE:
Please I need you help me with an outline, power point or google slide for the presentation (between 5 to 10 slides) and the the script of what I can said in the presentation about the case study it must be for 4:30 seconds CASE STUDY:

Title: Building Awareness About Juvenile Sentencing: A Report for the Local School District
Scenario: Imagine you are a probation officer who has been tasked with creating a report to share with the key personnel of the local school district to build awareness about laws and court processes that impact local court juvenile sentencing.
Write a report that consists of 2 parts:
Part 1: Data Visualization
Research statistics on populations of juvenile delinquents using the OJJDP’s Easy Access to Juvenile Court Statistics (EZAJCS) data tool for national data on juvenile delinquency demographics, offenses, and case processing trends. Choose 1 of the following options to investigate:
How 1 year’s delinquency case totals compare to another year’s totals based on the age at referral, manner of handling, and disposition
How 1 year’s case processing totals compare to another year for 2 types of offenses and how they vary for different demographic groups and genders
Create a visual representation of the data that shows a comparison of both groups, such as a chart, graphic image, diagram, or infographic. Do not use a table. Instead, select a visually appealing layout that your community would find easy to read and understand.
Create an image for your data visualization using an illustration tool in Microsoft® Word or PowerPoint®, or use an online drawing tool such as Piktochart® or Smore.
Part 2: Executive Summary
Write an executive summary of your findings in 250 to 525 words. Complete the following in your summary:
Explain the data shown in your image. Summarize what the difference in the numbers means for juvenile sentencing in courts.
Categorize the types of offenses that come under acts of delinquency and status offenses in juvenile courts.
Describe in detail the court process applicable for either type of offense and the court personnel associated with each process?
Please use citations and references. Points will be deducted if you do not. -

“Breaking Barriers: A Comparison of Two Trailers Featuring Young Female Protagonists in Oppressive Societies”
Comparison of two movie trailers (these two 2-minute TRAILERS only!):
Wadjda (2012), a film about a young female character in Saudi Arabia, written and directed by Haifaa Al Mansour
Secret Superstar (2017), a film about a young female character in India, written and directed by Advait Chandan (he/him).
This final assignment asks for a brief but detailed comparison essay based on your own observations–no research or reading is necessary, except the subtitles in the 2 videos below! 🙂
Watch both of these trailers–> Two “Trailers” to Watch for our Final Exam (Timed Essay 2)
Take about 3 hours to write your multiple-paragraph essay–you can submit it before the due date, but do a thorough job and read the scoring Rubric (below) before you submit it.
Essay Prompt Questions (answer them in order in separate paragraphs that form a short but detailed opinion essay, after you have carefully watched the “Two Trailers” videos, and Rebecca Balcarcel’s video in our final module):
Introduction: How are these two movie trailers for Wadjda and Secret Superstar alike or different in the details and devices that they use to make an impact on us (the audience)?
Body Paragraphs: What 3-4 aspects do these trailers have in common and/or in contrast, or a combination of both?
Conclusion: In your own opinion, which of these two trailers do you think is more effective as a movie trailer, and why?
Instructions (follow these carefully):
In your opening paragraph, identify the films and their creators (Haifaa Al Mansour and Advait Chandan, he/him) and directly answer the first prompt question in your thesis (try to include a “because” explanation to give your essay depth).
Support your thesis in multiple short but detailed paragraphs by discussing three aspects that the trailers share but that also make them unique in their details and impact. Integrate brief quotations from both trailers into your supporting sentences.
Finish by arguing which one of these two trailers you think is more effective for a viewer who has never seen the film, and briefly–but specifically–explain why you think so. 🙂
Important:
Use vivid details (the characters’ names, Wadjda and Insia, etc.), actions, descriptions (her mother, her father etc.)–avoid being too general) to convince your reader that you have carefully watched and considered these primary sources (the trailers) and have valuable insights about them.
Use Al Mansour and Chandan’s names in your sentences to give them credit for creating these works (for example: Chandan gives Insia a different kind of dream and sets his film in a different country, India, so . . . ).
You don’t need to watch or know the whole Secret Superstar movie: just its trailer (the one provided). 🙂
Give your essay a unique title, use the present tense to discuss the trailers, and proofread your essay to demonstrate your English 1A writing progress. 🙂 -
