No need to worry about the presentation. The reason I am leaving the presentation instruction here is to show how many percentage you should focus on each section. Also there should be some outside research on the development where new perspectives and analyses part. Presentation outline: 1) Statement of thesis for the presentation (what do you want to say). 2 minutes 2) Review of readings (A and B). 1 minute for A (which everyone has read) and 4-5 minutes for B. You will be penalized if you exceed the time allotment for this section. 3) Your response or analysis to reading B. It should last 5-7 minutes This is the bulk of the presentation and it should consist of you analyzing and bringing reading B in dialogue with: a) previous ideas from the course; and b) your academic/personal/religious/other interests outside the class. To this end, it is necessary to bring in outside materials, which you must also adequately present to the students . 4) Conclusion: closing thoughts or remarks, and how this your perspective and the reading for the session relates to other materials weve looked at so far. 3-4 minutes. 5) Brief discussion moderated by the presenters. The presentation should function as a dry-run for the paper. The paper should be a formally written and argued (remember, you should have a thesis!) version of the presentation. It should be 8-12 pages, no less. Like the presentation, it should be divided into at least four sections: (section 1): 1 page introduction; (section 2): 2 page reading review; section 3): 57 page development where new perspectives and analyses are brought into dialogue with the readings and the class thus far; (section 4): 1-2 page conclusion. The paper offers you the option to expand a bit on section 3 and bring in additional outside or complementary materials. It should recapitulate the presentation and expand on some of its points.
