English: Ghost Hunter’s Field Guide To Ohio (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Please review these guidelines and bring any questions you have to my attention! Remember that these slides will illustrate the short presentation each student gives on the final day of class (Dec. 1).
Due: Sunday 11/30, by midnight
What: a digital file (Powerpoint, Keynote, OpenOffice, or PDF format) that contains 1 slide.
This slide should have 1 image (representative of your field guide subject) and no more than 3 bullet points (representing key aspects of your research).
Each student will have approx 4.5 minutes to present during our symposium on Dec. 1, and the slide should act as a visual prompt for the field guide rather than a full summary. I will group presentations into smaller sessions, with brief question/discussion periods in between those sessions. The metaphor describing this symposium in the recent past is “speed dating” (though I’ve only actually had this phenomenon described to me in a second-hand manner…). The point is, you’ll each have only a few minutes to articulate both the topic and a point or two about your field guide!
Don’t worry, it’s fun….
