Working in groups, you will construct a Prezi of chapter 5 or 6 of Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs. (Chapter 5: Groups 1, 2, and 3; Chapter 6: Groups 4, 5, and 6). Your  Prezi will make an argument addressing the intersection of art and technology in your chapter and the Jobs film we watched last class. Your Prezi can combine quotations, images, and interpretations.

Designate one member of your group  the Prezi designer. The remaining members of the group should  locate passages, draw connections to the film, and determine how to depict the overall argument.

Before the class is over, invite the instructor to view your Prezi. We will discuss the Prezis as a class.
