ORAL PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS

presentation form (print)

--------------------------------------------------------

You will each give 2 ORAL PRESENTATIONS IN CLASS next week (week 9)

You will give ONE Presentation on Monday, and ONE on Wednesday

Each of your Presentations will last 6 Minutes

The class will break up into 3 large groups, (each group will be about 12-13 people)

You will talk about the Art Exhibition/Event/Performances you attended

You will primarily make an oral presentation, standing before your group. You can use the presentation form guide, but be prepared with notes for your talk. (See guidelines below) Although you may bring your own visuals and printed material, this is not required.

I will supervise and monitor all the presentations continually

If the group or the speaker starts socializing or speaking on topics non-relevant to the subject, I will take off participation points for the whole group. Each member of the group must respect the speaker and not use electronic devices, chat, eat or socialize, the same as class participation for the Professor.

At the end of your presentation, put your completed presentation form into your Research Log. You will also need to show evidence you actually attended the event. Put your ticket stub, or evidence you attended the show into the Research Log as well.
