ORAL PRESENTATIONS
One of the final activities of the semester, presentations can be done as individual papers or panels. In each case presentations should present original, academic work that engages one of the texts dealt with this semester. All presentations should demonstrate creativity and some aspect of literary analysis addressed in INGL 3104. They should have a thesis statement or the equivalent.
Presentations can be quantitative or qualitative in design. They could, for example, involve a survey of attitudes toward literature among freshmen at UPR-RP. They can also present the analysis of one of the texts read in class in comparative format.
Abstracts of up to 200 words must be submitted by April 28, 2015. They should present a general idea of what the presentation will cover as well as three to five keywords. At least two outside sources should be listed under the heading "Works to be Cited" just beneath the abstract. MLA style guidelines should be followed in listing the sources. General encyclopedias and Wikipedia are not acceptable sources. Instead, use academic sources closely related to topic of the presentation. Works cited should be integrated into the discussion.
Abstracts should also include the name of the presenter. In the case of panels, each member should present an abstract specifying his or her role and aim(s). Individual presentations should be 7-8 minutes in length. The length of group presentations depends on the number of members. The recommended length is 6-7 minutes per member. Advise your professor by email if your presentation requires technological support.
