What am I required to do in this assignment?
You will develop a PowerPoint Presentation based on a specific disability issue being challenged by a protest group or user movement. In the notes section of each slide, you will expand on key points and demonstrate advanced knowledge and understanding of key issues. Submit the PowerPoint presentation to grade centre and you also have to submit detailed notes with the PowerPoint slides. These notes must reflect what you would have spoken had you been standing in front of an audience. The notes should be structured according to your slides i.e., each note of each slide should reflect what you would say in the oral presentation if you were presenting each slide. The notes should be presented in the notes section of the Power-Point. Please see the unit’ breo ‘Assessment& Feedback’ shell for a video on how to add notes on PowerPoint. If you are unable to add notes in the notes section of a PowerPoint, you can put a ‘notes slide’ after each presentation slide. For example, slide 1 presentation slide, slide 2 notes narrating what you would have said about slide 1 presentation slide, slide 3 presentation slide, slide 4 notes speaking to slide 3 and so on. Total word count of the notes/scripts is 2000 words. So all your notes has to be a total of 2000. Please remember that the usual rules for referencing and plagiarism apply.

How does this assignment relate to what we are doing in scheduled sessions?
Each session will address aspects of the themes covered in the “What do I need to do to pass?” and “How do I produce high
