Hello!
Below you will find a few items:
1. a copy of the handout from the first week of classes that I distributed and explained regarding oral presentations.
2. a schedule of the oral presentations for each of the three 1A classes.

YOU MUST ATTEND CLASS ON BOTH DAYS, DEC. 7 AND 9--it is important to be present for your fellow classmates to provide support and an audience, even if you are not presenting that day.

Oral Presentation Assignment

The Significance of Home
Assigned: First week of semester

Due: Wednesday or Friday, December 7 or 9

For this assignment, please select an article, observation, photograph, painting, collage, film, song, poem, essay or anything else that offers some message or reflection on the theme of home. It could have a personal meaning for you, but it does not have to.
After you have selected your “item,” write a minimum of one page about the item. Include a brief description of the item and a detailed explanation of why you chose this item; include a thoughtful commentary. Proofread carefully for unacceptable errors as well as other proofreading mistakes. THIS MUST BE TYPED, DOUBLE SPACED, please
On the day of presentations, please do not read your essay to the class, but simply summarize the main points aloud to the class. The presentation usually takes only a few moments. You will submit a copy of the essay only to me.
As the semester progresses, you may get ideas for your presentation from our readings, the films we will be viewing, or from class discussions.
Remember that you will not receive this short essay back nor will you receive any credit for the assignment if there are ANY unacceptable errors present.
Please do not take this assignment lightly. It is worth 100 points.
