2. Biography
This should list significant events in the author’s life, including some generic ones (like birth and death) but especially focusing on the items which change their lives the most, and the dates when their material was written/published.
You must also cite where you found the material.
This could be several slides.

3. Themes and Concepts
This should deal with the major ideas which the author explores in his/her work. Connect them with the events from the biography.

4. Techniques
This should present the techniques that are most representative of the author’s style, including any of the elements of language.

5. Sample Text Items
This should include a segment of text from one of the works. Delete the top portion and use the entire slide, being careful not to make the text so small as to be difficult to see. If needed, use several slides. When you present this material, you must make connections to the ideas you’ve already created in the previous slides.
You need at least three pieces of text.

6. Bibliography
Cite all of your sources in MLA format.
