I HAVE ADDED Selected Required Presentation Topics: Now you MUST ADD description

I HAVE ADDED Selected Required Presentation Topics: Now you MUST ADD description/abstract & MODALITY (Onlne/Discussion Board OR In-Class) To-Do Date: May 6 at 11:59pm To-Do Date: Feb 16 at 11:59pm The spreadsheet which lists presentation DATES and TOPICS will be posted for students to add their names to select topics. REMEMBER, topics are approved on a first-come-first-serve basis. Two per STUDENT (UNLESS approved by instructor). Students who do not select topics will have one chosen for them which could be due as early as next week. PLEASE do not remove or modify the selection of ANY student in the class. Further, do not alter your selection in ANY WAY once it has been entered unless instructed by your professor to do so. You have THREE options for presentation format (see the Syllabus document on the homepage). Once your name is posted on the spreadsheet, as long as it meets the criteria and is approved, you may begin. Presentations are due by Wednesday of the week they are scheduled. All presentation info is testable, so be sure to check out the presentations your classmates share BOTH online and during class. Review the syllabus for details. Online or F2F (in-class) PRESENTATION (10%) A presentation for/to the class based on one section of one of the chapters covered in our textbook. As a rule of thumb, students are not expected to cover the entire chapter, but ONE or TWO aspects of a chapter that may be considered most interesting to a particular student. PLEASE see the EXAMPLE ON the Discussion Board. The presentation will be a supplement to the information that we are learning in class. Students will select from the Calendar of Lessons. Students will be prepared to present/post on (or close to) the date(s) the topic is scheduled to be covered in class. My recommendation is for students to peruse the textbook and find something that catches their eye & then read a bit about it to decide whether it is a topic that would be worthy of further investigation. One paramount component of this project is for students to answer the question “What does this have to do with people in our time?” Be sure to include this in your required thesis which will appear in the first slide of the presentation. Students are expected to use the rubric provided during our first class meetings. Each presentation will be a minimum of seven minutes and a maximum of twenty minutes. For F2F presentations, please notify the instructor of the approximate length of time required for your presentation. This will ensure that it has been rehearsed before the presentation. Please stay within the time allotted. Bring a copy of the outline and a properly (MLA) formatted Works Cited on the day of the presentation. Students who complete BOTH in-class & virtual (OL) presentations will be expected to include an outline and a Works Cited as attachments to the presentation on the CANVAS Discussion Board. This document will include citations and an outline (with thesis) on the day of the presentation. For OL presentations, students must be a bit more tech-savvy since the content will have to be self-transitioning and include prerecorded audio so that viewers can just sit down and enjoy the self-rolling and sound-enhanced presentation. Those who are not willing or able to include these elements in their presentations should consider a F2F presentation. Students who do not submit all items will lose ten points per missing item. Are you considering a PowerPoint presentation? PowerPoint or Prezi Presentations must be between 10 -15 SLIDES & must CONTAIN a documented quotation that pertains to the topic presented. EX: “All the world’s a Stage” Shakespeare: As You Like It Students will NOT BE PERMITTED to include paragraphs in slides OR READ FROM the presentation. ONLY referenced bullet NOTES will be accepted. Students may use index cards or thumbnail printouts during presentations. Students may even distribute handouts to the class. Each slide must contain a citation if ANY information on the slide was derived from a source. Students must make a genuine effort to properly pronounce unfamiliar terms. A ‘tool’ for this may be available in CANVAS. However, it is ultimately up to the student to take responsibility for this element of the presentation. Do not worry! It is a project that is designed to be “fun”. If you complete the preparation for your presentation prior to your scheduled presentation date, you may send a copy to me and I will make any recommendations that may be necessary. Topics are selected on a 1st come first serve basis: Topic selections are limited to two students per topic: Once two students have selected a topic, it will be closed to other students unless otherwise specified. Since two students will be presenting on a topic, it is VERY IMPORTANT for students TO COMMUNICATE with one another via CANVAS INBOX or the BEST communication tool that BOTH parties agree on. ONCE TOPICS are selected THEY CANNOT be CHANGED. If no topic is selected, one will be selected for you. This power point project is for humanity class. The topic is: The Enlightenment
