PowerPoint/ History – American history
Civil Liberties v. Civil Rights: Create a PowerPoint slide show explaining what Civil Liberties and Civil Rights are. Your
slide show should consist of 10-14 slides (not including a title slide and reference slide which you must have) and should
include, but not be limited to:
Definition of civil liberties and discuss how these rights are protected on a federal and state level

You may include additional information you feel is relevant, but do not create more than 14 slides. Remember that you
must include a title slide and proper APA reference slide in addition to the 10-14 slides. Use your creativity, and organize
the material in a logical and understandable manner. Do not use the note portion of the slides; these will not be accessible
to faculty in the submitted document.
