Your presentation to your class will be in the form of a brief professional conference presentation. Each group will have 15 minutes - 8-10 for presentation and 5 for questions and answers and discussion. Each member of your team should be prepared to speak for about 2 minutes.
You will need to coordinate the content of your remarks so that you cover all the information, and that each of you presents different information. Please don't be the one who can only say "as .... just said." To prevent this you must turn in an outline of the points to be covered by each individual one week prior to the presentation. If you feel most comfortable writing your part of the presentation and reading it to your audience, you may do so. Even if you don't want to read it as part of the presentation, you will want to write a draft to organize your thoughts.
Please prepare a bibliography to be used as a handout for your audience. (If you turn this in with your outline, your instructor will make the copies for you. Otherwise you are responsible for copies for handouts.) You will need to list at least 8 sources on your topic. These may be journal articles, books, web pages or even substantive newspaper articles. Be sure to prepare a page with the title of your presentation, the bibliography in proper form and your names at the bottom, in case someone from your audience wants to contact you.
Visual aids are not necessary for your presentation, but you may want to consider them as an enrichment.
Power point is available in your presentation room, but the system is finicky. Plan ahead. Be sure that the equipment you need is available, set up and working prior to your presentation. Also, be sure you can make the system work. Practice that. Don't count on your instructor to bail you out, since she and the current electronic system in this room are not always on friendly terms.
Or, you may want to use handouts.
Dress professionally
for your presentation.
