 * The Presentation**

Images not required.

You will prepare and give a presentation that demonstrates your knowledge of your topic and your ability to defend your ideas.

Be mindful: 1. The slides in your presentation are about visual story telling that complements your presence and speaking. They are not a script to be acted-out, or a book to be printed and read aloud, word for word. 2. five minutes per person 3. Try to open with something real — an anecdote, a memory, an image, something that grounds your talk in the “right now” and skips the “My thesis is…”. You can always do an introduction second, once you’ve set the tone and gotten people’s interest. 5. Finish early to allow for questions.
