Presentation Schedule & Reminders

The following is a schedule for upcoming presentations.

Each presentation should show a basic understanding of the culture's literary history (mostly contemporary, please, although some cultures are thousands of years old...) and note very briefly significant poets, novelists, essayists, philosophers, celebrities, film directors/writers, playwrights, singers, etc. [note: this is a summary. We don't need a lot of information about all of these people--that's impossible. Pick a few key literary or significant artists and tell us how that person influenced the culture in question. We don't really need to know the exact time or date they were born or where they went to school or who they married, unless that's important to their influence and career or helped shape the culture...
.
Along with your research and presentation, you should include the following:

• A sample poem or song from a significant poet/singer
• A sample short, short story (I'll provide these for you)--those of you who did not pick up your stories Tuesday (senior skip day...which is not an official thing...may not be ready or prepared to discuss your prose author...); I will provide copies of the short story for the class.
• A sample film clip

Additionally, you must create a Prezi, Padlet, or Google Slide, or a short documentary as a visual aide or you may bring in a sample cultural dish to share with the class. Slides and prezi slides should be mostly pictures (avoid more than 12 words on a slide...!)

Your presentations should include time to summarize information about your culture, allow classmates to read the poem draft (or listen to a song), watch a short film clip of a significant film or a travelogue highlighting the culture and geography, and read the short story from a contemporary/post-modern author.  Presentations should be between 5-15 minutes in length. You may be cut off if you go past 15 minutes in length.

IMPORTANT: Please note that if you are absent or late and miss your time slot, you will be bumped from your time slot. If you are bumped from your time slot, you might be able to present on the last day, if we have time. If we do not, you will, unfortunately, not receive full credit for the project. Be on time and present!
