Presentations

For this assignment, the class will be broken up into 4 different groups.  Each group will be responsible for creating a presentation corresponding to a particular section in the book.  These presentations will be presented to the class Next Wednesday October 3.  The presentation will have the following criteria:
1.) It will effectively present the information from the textbook section that you are assigned
2.) Each presentation must be 10-15 minutes in length
3.) Each person must be involved in all aspects of the creation/presentation of the project. 
4.) Each presentation must have at least 3 sources cited in addition to the textbook and include 1 piece of media (video, audio, professionally made chart/graph, booklet, article, etc)
Effectively you are, as a group, "teaching" each other about your topics.  You should keep this in mind when you are creating this presentation as to make sure it will be helpful to the others.

Dates for submitting updates:
9/27 - blog response telling me your plans
10/01 - rough draft
