Serial Killer PowerPoint or Flip Chart
This is an individual project encouraging you to research a serial killer and investigate
not only the killer, but how the cases were handled. Your project can be in either
Microsoft PowerPoint or Activstudio Flip Chart (Promethean software).
Things to include about the killer:
Birth Name and Alias (if any) 8pts
Place and Date of Birth 7pts
Brief history of individual 20pts
Picture 10pts
Killing Profile (serial killers tend to repeat previous acts. What was his/her
M.O?) 15pts
Total Number of Victims bonus 5pts

Sentence 5pts
Things to include about the investigation:

Police department or federal department leading investigation 10pts
Place and date of each individual case, in chronological order (from the killer’s
series) bonus 2 pts each

the location or police dept) 10pts
Presentation counts a total of 15 points to your total grade!
You must give the instructor a paper copy of your presentation to receive your grade!
Make this project tell a story. Biography documentaries on networks such as the History
Channel or A & E are good programs to emulate. Be creative with this project. You may
pull multimedia if you wish (be sure to follow copyright laws, including citing your
sources) and if you choose to create a Flip Chart, don’t hesitate to include interactive
games or reveals*
