Group Presentation Details

Each group will assemble an hour-long presentation on the topic for the week.

The oral presentation should be a group project, developed in collaboration with all the members of each group.  
The presentation should reflect an understanding of key concepts proposed by the readings; 
in fact, it MUST refer to some part of the readings. The presentation should also build on those concepts, 
either in consent or dissent, with additional musical and visual materials. 


Performance is welcome! 



The most successful presentations will include critical analysis, supporting materials, 
media examples drawn from beyond the course syllabus, as well as a performance of some sort. 
 
 
Before the presentation, the group must hand in an outline for their  presentation.
In addition, each student must hand in individual research notes for the presentation.
These notes should detail the individual contribution to the group presentation.

Your notes should document what you chose to present, and more importantly, why. 
You should account for the choices in the presentation and offer some context 
for the presentation from your point of view as the discussion leader. 
 
 
The presentation should last no more than an hour. 
The class will engage the group in discussion and response after the presentation.
 
 
The presentation will account for 30% of the final grade.
