Midterm report presentations

UPDATE. The tentative reporting schedule is set, make sure you're on it. Let me know if you're not. Those whose topics do not clearly relate to something the class is doing on your designated reporting date: consider changing your topic, if you can't find a plausible connection.

==

It's time to select and assign report presentation topics. Take a look at the syllabus for October, topics should be related to what we're reading and discussing in class during the month. 

Your ten-minute presentation should tell us something interesting and relevant we'd not have known just from reading our texts. You can prepare a PowerPoint (etc.) if you wish, but that's not required. If your reporting date happens to be on a nice Fall day, consider taking us outside.

Post a brief summary of your topic, with any suggested readings (etc.) and a discussion question or two, in the comments' space below prior to your scheduled reporting date. 

If you have a particular topical interest you'd like to report on, indicate that in the comments space below by the end of this week (Friday the 17th). First come, first served. We want to avoid redundancy.

Topics related to our recommended texts (FL, HWT) are also eligible.

If you do not indicate a particular topical interest, I'll assign it. jpo
