2. Textual Analysis: Students should make reference to the readings/ current events and discuss relevant themes.

3. Works Cited: The section includes appropriate and vetted references. 4. Miscellaneous: Student ensures grammar, organization, clarity: Presentation is easy to

read/view. Includes more than just text (ie. video/images).
