Presentation (Final)

Directions: At the end of the quarter we will have a final. Essentially, this will be a brief presentation based on the argument that you make in your research paper. The time length of the presentation will vary from student to student but should not go over 5 minutes or under 3. In the presentation you will need to present your thesis and its most convincing support. While it may be impossible to hit every point made in your paper, you should present your strongest arguments and strongest evidence.

Directions Part 2 You will need to cite relevant sources and be as clear as possible. While being an excellent public speaker is not required, you will be expected to deliver this presentation to the class, which means addressing the class in a clear, understandable manner and answering questions afterwards. While referring to notes is acceptable, avoid just reading to the class. In addition, you will be required to provide your fellow students with an outline of your presentation, complete with a works cited page.

Directions Part 3 While not required, visual aids such as PowerPoint may be used as well. This assignment is meant to be an opportunity to share with your classmates the polished argument that you have worked so hard to put together in your research paper, so it is imperative that you respect this and remain for the entire set of presentations and not simply leave when you are finished. As with the research paper itself, this can be a difficult assignment for many students. Please feel free to contact me with questions or problems as you work on this.
