FINAL PROJECT
|
---|
Your final assignment will consist of two parts – a class presentation and a paper (prepared in I-Search format). These will consist of the same subjects, just presented in two different manners. This is a group project, so you are required to work with at least two classmates.
Assignment: | Choose any author from the text or another American author (to be approved by me), research the author, prepare a presentation for the class based upon your research, write up an I-Search paper based upon your research. Presentations will take place during the last week of class, so authors of note from the 20th century might be the best choices to fit within the course context; however, you are free to choose other authors, subject to my approval. |
Information to Research: | Research and presentations should cover, at minimum, the following subjects:
|
Requirements: | It is suggested that each member of your group select one of the above subjects and work on that. Work should be done in groups of no larger than four, and preferably no smaller than three. Presentations should last no longer than 20 minutes. You are free to create any type of presentation you desire – PowerPoints are highly popular, but not required. All group members are required to participate in the class presentation. |

The above will be used in consideration of the overall group grade; everyone in the group will receive the same grade. |
