Presentations

As the individual group's focus topics together comprise a broader epic, it is strongly recommended that a half-day (at least) be set aside for group presentation in front of the entire class. If this is not possible, set aside class periods on consecutive days for the presentations.

1. Allow fifteen minutes of presentation time per group.
2. PowerPoint files should be loaded on the school network the day before to reduce the chance of technical glitches.
3. The presentation format may vary from group to group. Some groups may read sections with images flashing behind, while others may record their lines on PowerPoint. You may stipulate accordingly.
4. Each group must also submit a finished copy of its poem (and PowerPoint disk) with bibliography of sources consulted.
5. The overall goal of the presentation day is immersion in the time. Students not only share their work but also allow other aspects of 1900 American to wash over them.
