Group Presentation You will be assigned to a group of 3 or 4 to do a presentation on a particular form of literary theory. Assign no more than 20 pages of reading. Because you will have read more than the assigned twenty pages you may refer to other essays in your presentation. They may come at the end or be integrated into the presentation as a whole. Thus, visuals, auditory supplements, handouts or other creative activities that will aid learning are encouraged.
Originality counts for a good deal in the presentation.
As individuals you must turn in a one page single-spaced report that gives a frank and honest assessment of your participation in the group project as well as an assessment of the groups work as a whole. This report should be turned by the class period following your presentation. Toward the end of the semester I will put two poems and two short stories on reserve. The stories will be from contemporaries of Zora Neale Hurston. For the second essay you are to develop a thesis on a topic that includes at least one of these texts.
