Each group has the power to excommunicate a member who does not really participate equally with the others. The mentor's final approval for the excommunication is needed. Presentations begin on Tuesday, March 14th, with each group to give a presentation of 15-20 minutes, not much briefer nor much longer. There will be a time for the class to ask questions or make comments to the presenting group following each presentation. Both the essay and the presentation are encouraged to be both critical and creative, with some fun involved in the doing of it all.
Presentations can be the making of a video tape, a dramatic enactment, role-playing, debate.
Please avoid reading from the group's essay and avoid having group members simply read from notes. The approval of the mentor is necessary. Topic approval must be obtained no later than February 17th. The presentation is NOT to be simply a rehash of the essay, not a reading of it, but a further step beyond the essay to explain further, or enact the meaning of the topic. In other words, the essay is to serve as an introduction to the presentation and the presentation is to serve as a conclusion to the essay.
