Presentation Schedule for Final Projects
As part of your Paper 4 assignment, you'll present your original research to the class during the presentation days at the end of the semester.
Length: About 3-5 minutes per person for the presentation. (No additional written work must be turned in for a grade.) If you have a group of 2-3, you'll have two slots, although you do not have to take the whole time allotted to you.
Time slots are 6 minutes long to allow for setup, transitions between people and groups, and so forth. You do not have to take the whole 3-5 minutes for your presentation.
Your purpose is to inform the class about what you learned in writing your paper or web project. If you've done the "texts in context" paper, for example, you may want to discuss what you've discovered about the periodical or author you focused on for the paper. If you've completed a web project, you may want to show that project on the screen and discuss it with the class. If you've worked with someone else on the project, you can present your research together.
Although this presentation will be based on your final project, you shouldn't simply read your paper to the class, although you can present portions of your paper in your presentation. Instead, you should feel free to bring in film or music clips, use PowerPoint or pictures, ask students questions, and otherwise make your presentation lively and informative for the class.
Remember to time your presentation, especially if you are using video clips, since they take longer than you might expect.
Directions: Sign up for the day you would prefer by emailing me or signing up in class. Remember, some of you may be presenting before actually turning in your final project. We can use the classroom computer, so you can email your presentation to yourself, put it on Prezi, or upload it to slideshare.net or another online service.
On the day of your presentation, try to get there a little early and load the presentation (if it is PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.) onto the classroom computer so that it will be ready to go.
If you are working in a group, you can combine your times. You need not take the whole time, however.
