T

his presentation is not meant to be just a summary of the assigned reading. Rather, it

should function as a guide to the pivotal issues raised in the readings and as a catalyst

COMM B190 Fall 2017 – Chapter Presentations

DUE: Presentations will begin the week of September 5; see the team assignment

and schedule sheet on Blackboard (“Assignments”) for more information.

WORTH: 100 points

DETAILS:

You and your partner will create an in-class presentation of material from your chosen

chapter, which will lead off our discussion each week. These will be 15- to 20-minute

presentations followed by a class discussion/activity led by your team.

This presentation is not meant to be just a summary of the assigned reading. Rather, it

should function as a guide to the pivotal issues raised in the readings and as a catalyst

for generating class discussion. To that end, presentations should include the following:

 Coverage of the primary sections in each chapter, identifying the main points and

key terms of each section.

 At least two questions/topics for class discussion. This discussion can be a part of

your presentation or as the class activity at the end of your presentation. (Note: If

the discussion is held during your presentation, I expect the presentation to go

beyond the 15-20-minute time frame).

 Examples that that help to illustrate and/or further explain your main points.

These can be taken from the chapter or brought in from relevant outside sources.

Use your creativity here: Actual media forms (books, magazines, newspapers),

music/audio/video clips, charts, graphs, websites, etc. are all encouraged.

 A one-page typed handout that briefly outlines the key issues and terms you will

cover in your presentation. This should clearly explain what you will talk about,

including who does what and in what order. Make enough copies for each class

member and your professor (total of 28), and distribute these prior to the start

of your presentation.

 A hard copy of your actual presentation and any other relevant supplemental

materials that will be turned in to your professor.
