Presentations must:
- Run at least 10 minutes—you may utilize any presentation program you like (e.g. PowerPoint, Slides)
- Be 10-12 slides in length, excluding cover slide and works cited—introduction and conclusion slides are mandatory; presentations without an introduction and/or conclusion cannot receive full points
- Include at least one multimedia clip—no longer than 2 minutes in length
- Include an MLA Style works cited slide—not to be presented
- Include a one-page handout—to be distributed to the class the day before your presentation via Canvas*
- Be submitted to Canvas no later than the day of your presentation
*In addition to summarizing the salient points of your presentation, your handout should also echo its style and tone.
IMPORTANT:
- To present on Zoom, you will be made a co-host. Be sure to select "Share Sound" before sharing your screen.
- Not required, but presenting with your camera on can significantly improve class engagement
