MIDTERM REPORT PRESENTATIONS

Check the schedule below. If you miss your turn we'll move on, you may not have another opportunity to claim those 25 points - 1/4 of your grade.

Select a topic related to the day's scheduled reading, talk for at least ten minutes, tell us something you find interesting or problematic about your topic (something we won't have read in the assigned texts) and give us at least a couple of discussion questions. Cite your sources. You can make a slideshow if you want, or show us a video clip, or prepare a script, or just talk. Whatever works. If it happens to be a nice day, consider taking us outside. Indicate your date and topic preference (and your 2d choice) in the comments space below by Feb.1, first come first served. Remember to include your section # (6, 7, or 10). I'll assign a date and topic if you haven't selected one. Have fun! And read the post below on "anxiety"...
