Purpose:
Your job for the research project assignment is to select a building that is of interest to you and document the history, architectural characteristics, and significance of the building. Though you will be sharing your findings in a paper, you will also offer a brief introduction to your chosen topic in class (see here for more information on the paper).
Deliverable:
You will create a one-page visual or “poster” introducing us to your building. It should include ample images of your chosen structure as well as text highlighting key elements of your research and findings (history, architectural features, significance). Please submit your visual to Canvas as a single PowerPoint slide.
Presentation:
You will present on your topic during the last week of class. Content-wise, your presentation should walk us through your visual, introducing us to your topic cover the main ideas and findings that you plan to address in your paper. You will have 3 minutes to talk to us about your building and share your visual. If your presentation is below two minutes, it will negatively affect your grade. Likewise, I will cut presentations off if they veer above 4 minutes, as we need to maintain a tight schedule.
Feedback:
You will also offer some light feedback on selected visuals/presentations from other members of the class. You’ll be randomly assigned 5 presentations to review via Canvas. Your feedback should cover both the actual presentation and the visual. Use the questions below to guide your feedback:
What did you like about the presentation, learn, and/or find interesting?
What, if anything, did you find confusing or unclear? OR what do you want to know more about?
Does it seem like the presenter is on target with their approach to the assignment? If not, what pieces should they ensure they address before submitting the final paper.
Presenting in front of a larger group is not everyone’s strength or preference, so please remain constructive and supportive with your feedback. Try to focus primarily on the content of the presentation/ visual, particularly the extent to which it meets the content requirements for the written paper assignment.
The building this one slide presentation should cover is the flat iron building in New York City.
