  • A specific type of human trafficking, such as forced labor, sex trafficking, organ trafficking, debt bondage, or child labor
  • A specific group of people who are regular victims of human trafficking, such as the rural poor in China or inner-city teenage girls in the U.S.
  • A specific industry in which human trafficking is rampant, such as precious metals or electronics manufacturing
  • A specific place where trafficking is occurring, such as California, China, or another part of the world.
  • A specific company that is benefitting from using human trafficking.

  • Minimum 5-10 facts about your topic
  • Minimum 5 sources

Creating Your Video

Edited Monologue & Cards and Music

Slideshow
  • Create your presentation in Google Docs, PowerPoint, Keynote, Haiku Deck, or any other app you want.  Make sure your slideshow is set to a 16:9 aspect ratio, otherwise your video will look squished at the end.
  • Be sure to use only Public Domain or Creative Commons images (Haiku Deck will find only CC images)
  • Export your slideshow to images for use in your video.
  • Arrange timings and transitions
The simplest way to add music to your video is to upload it using the Youtube Capture app, and then select Add Music. This will let you choose from Youtube's library of soundtracks. This will put audio behind your entire video. If you want more control, you will need to download the music separately. See Media for Projects for more info.
