Due: Monday, May 24
As preparation for our larger presentations and to review various background concepts of writing, you will each prepare a three- to five-minute presentation for the class, explaining a chosen concept from the class handbook.
Preparing Your Presentation
In presenting this information, you should have as many PowerPoint slides as necessary to summarize your information. Be sure to check the notes on Creating Presentations in preparation for these presentations. Essentially, you will want to have the main topics for your presentation in your slides, as you discuss / teach the information with / to the class.
Evaluation
For me to evaluate your presentation and so I may ensure presentations will be available for class presentation, you must e-mail me your PowerPoint slideshow to me prior to class. You must e-mail your presentation to me 24 hours before your scheduled presentation, or the presentation will be considered late.
