1  This is a GROUP project and is not a group of individuals each working in isolation. This means the projects should demonstrate a working-together of the group. While from time to time one individual may take the center stage, the performance as a whole should be a dialogue among the members of the group (as in talk shows). While presenting individually is one way to divide up the labor, it leads to a pretty dry presentation--something closer to a lecture rather than a performance.

 2  CLOSE READING: your presentation should show how details from the readings relate to the project or project prep at hand. Use the following questions as guides to the presentation:

•  What information in the readings is most relevant to the assignment?

•  How can I relate the readings to one another? 
  
  
•  How do the literary readings serve as examples or models for layout or construction of my project or project prep.?

 4  You should involve the class in your presentation.

 5  Present a clear step-by-step method of how to complete the assignment effectively, and have an example of how to complete the project to show other students. Remember that even a misunderstanding in your presentation can be as helpful as correct interpretations! It's okay to be wrong in the presentation --better in the presentation than on the final project paper.

 6  Presentations are to last 20 to 30 minutes of the class.

 
Grade: the class presentation counts 8% of your overall grade. Your grade will reflect how well as a group you meet the above criteria.
