Conspiracies

“Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams!” The idea that Bush caused 911 and that the JFK

assassination was a hoax are two of the main conspiracy theories that still circulate today. For

our semester long multimodal project we are going to be researching and presenting some of the

main and most talked about conspiracy theories around the world. We are going to be

approaching this task by taking an in depth look into the ideas and proof that support these

theories. Using the information we uncover we will present the different views and provide our

opinion of how these conspiracies affect the world around us. Our information will be presented

in the form of a prezi that will focus on the theories individually along with the origins of

conspiracy theories as well.

Because our project will be focussing on different events our project will be designed to

specifically highlight these events individually. By incorporating our information found from

books and the internet, into a prezi, we will be able to effectively touch on different aspects

surrounding the individual theories we chose to research. Each selected conspiracy theory will be

shown in depth throughout five slides that will discuss where the theory came from, how it

spread, why people believe it, and what it means for our world. All of the information will be

obtained through use of the internet and books found in the Atkins Library.

The approach we’re taking for the timeline should be effective as it will go in depth

enough to offer our audience an accurate portrayal of each conspiracy while also providing for

multiple conspiracies. The work being split up in the way it is should also ensure that its done all

time and should be split up appropriately among the team members. Our audience should care

about our project since conspiracies can play a very influential part of our society. These

conspiracies have began debates around the world off how certain events have taken place

throughout history. These debates occur because everyone can have a different take on major

events. In the end everyone wants to find out what actually occurred.

Throughout the research and development of our project, we will divide the work evenly

theories amongst the entire group. To be able to have everyone complete the same amount of

work and have everyone held responsible for their work, each member will chose one theory to

research and the last theory the entire group will research as a whole. Each team member will

produce five slides for their chosen theory. Starting the week of October 5th each member will

be required to complete one slide out of their five to show and have peer edited by the rest of the

group. The week of November 9th the group will research the last theory together and compose

the last five slides. The week of November 23rd the group will add finishing touches to their own

slides and complete introduction, title, works cited, and any additional information slides. That

week as well all members are required to have their five slides completed and be well versed on

the topic to be able to adequately answer the question.
