ISU Presentations

Many of you have been patiently awaiting the final course component: instructions for how to prepare your ISU presentations. They follow:

-prepare a 10 minute presentation based on one topic or issue related to your ISU novel

-you may prepare a digital presentation or a traditional presentation (using a poster board)

-review 4-6 current and authoritative sources on your chosen topic (the databases will be of great help here but so too will be general references like encyclopedias or books on your topic, avoid the information yielded by typical google searches)

-form an interesting and thought-provoking thesis on your topic

-select information, anecdotes, facts, statistics and references from your research in order to prove your thesis

-present your work in an engaging manner (you may wish to script what you will say)

-this presentation is not a summary of the book, nor is it suppose to be an oral presentation of your ISU paper

-the single most important ingredient is research.

-presentations will run from Fri., January 14th to Wed., Jan. 19th. You will be asked to present within a group of 6 once per day. You will also be involved in providing feedback to some of your classmates.
