Ideally the assignment that you get from your teacher will have criteria that include expectations regarding what to include in your presentation. If your teacher doesn't provide guidance in those areas, use these suggestions to help you with your presentation.

Writing

Writing begins once you've completed your research. Always start with a storyboard.

Use the elements of good writing.

Ideas and Content: Communicate knowledge of the topic, including relevant examples, facts, anecdotes and details.
Organization: Structure information in a clear sequence, making connections and transitions among ideas.
Voice: Use a style the reflects the tone of your research.

Videoing and editing your work

Use a planning guide to prepare for your video.
Audio - music, voice-over, dialogue of script
Visual - graphics, sound effects, description of shots, still documentary photos

If you use a digital video camera, digital editing software such as iMovie or Final Cut Pro needs to be learned to create a video.
