Presentation Criteria for Literary Movements Project

PART II

Design a presentation for our class about your literary movement. Using the material you have gathered during Part I, create a ten minute presentation. Provide some sort of visual for the class. I recommend either a Bristol board or a PowerPoint presentation.

Your presentation will be comprised of two parts. The first part will be sharing what you learned about your literary movement to the class. You are not required to memorize anything; therefore, you can have any material in front of you. A word of advice: a good visual attracts the audience’s eyes, which means they’re not all looking at you.

The second part of your presentation will be a reading of your favourite piece of prose/poetry from your literary movement. Take a minute or two to introduce what you are reading and then read it for the class.

Presentations will begin in November while we are studying poetry.
