Paper 2 Presentations

Length: About 5 minutes.

As part of your Paper 2 assignment, you'll be presenting your original research to the class during one of two presentation days at the end of the semester. You may also choose to present your research on a topic unrelated to Paper 2, but most people will probably want to combine the presentation with their Paper 2 research.

Although this presentation will be based on your final project, you shouldn't simply read your paper to the class, since you won't have time to read the whole thing. Instead, you can present portions of your paper in your presentation or present its information in another way. You might, for example, bring in film or music clips, use PowerPoint or pictures, ask students questions, and otherwise make your presentation lively and informative for the class. You can also present your research in innovative ways.

The presentation will count 5% toward your Paper 2 grade (Paper 2 is 20% of your grade)
