Presentation

Students will choose groups during the first week of class for presentations addressing a historical topic relevant to each module. A list of suggested topics will be provided; students are welcome to propose alternative topics for consideration. Presentations should be approximately 20 minutes and provide thorough background information on the topic, as well as propose questions that connect the topic to the day’s primary readings. Students are encouraged to make use of a variety of media for their presentations, but the grade will be based primarily on depth of content and insight into class themes.
