We want to encourage community-based stewardship with regard to exotic species.  Therefore, these exotic species projects will be published in two ways – in hard copy and on the web.  This is why we are requiring a standardized format in the way of PowerPoint presentation.

Stewardship projects will be presented in the form of PowerPoint presentations with an accompanying one-page descriptive narrative of your project.  These should follow the same general format (outlined below) and should be illustrated with photos of students doing the projects.  The presentations and write-ups you turn in will be published in a print version, as well as published on the Exotic Aquatics on the Move website  (http://ag.ansc.purdue.edu/EXOTICSP/).

Your Stewardship PowerPoint presentation project should include the following items:

Introduction to Stewardship Project (includes basics of class, why they chose the project they did)
Please include a catchy title that reflects the “big picture” of what the project is about and overview of the project.

Objectives of the Stewardship Project
What is the aim/purpose of doing this stewardship project?  What do you and your students hope to accomplish as a result of this project?

The Stewardship Project Activity (the nuts and bolts)
What did your students actually do?  How long did it take them?  How did you set up the project?  Any special materials or contacts required?

Outcome/Impact of the Project (this is the most important section!
What impact did your project have on your community?  on your students?  Quotes from students and the community would be great in this spot!

We ask that...

  teachers distill the activity into the most important points.  Please limit your presentation to between 4-8 PowerPoint slides.

  teachers distill the activity into a one-page descriptive narrative of your project using the headings list above (submit as a text file).

  if different projects were done by groups of students, only one summary PowerPoint presentation is required along with a written summary of all the projects.  Within this summary, include for each individual project, include the nuts & bolts and impacts.

  if you do not have access to PowerPoint, you can turn your project in "cut and pasted" onto 11x17" paper – with original photos carefully taped into place.

For photos, we ask that...

You send in the original photo.  (Put your name and phone number on each photo if you want it back.)

If you use a digital camera, use the highest resolution possible! (Send these on a floppy.)

Each photo used in the presentation needs to have a caption and identify the students featured in the photograph.

Deadline for turning in your Stewardship Project presentations:

February 28, 2001
