Reading Presentations

Each of you will be part of a small group that will conduct a “reading presentation” on one of the assigned readings for the term. You will present your take on the reading using creative approaches to the material or the writer. Past presentations have used YouTube clips, a power point presentation using graphics and/or other online material to highlight aspects of the story and information from related websites. The group presenters will prepare questions and lead the class in a short discussion on the assigned reading.

Presentations generally last 15 – 20 minutes. If you are using a power point or other multi-media file, bring the appropriate dongle to hook up to the video projector, or send the file to me beforehand.

Everyone must sign up for a reading presentation. Read the story ahead of time and meet with me before the assigned date to discuss your approach.
