Part of the course requirements is to give a group presentation (of two students).
Each group will select a topic covered in the course. The presentation should be for
a maximum of 10 minutes, after which 2 minutes will be dedicated for instructor and
class questions.
Each student should present to class. This assignment is designed
to expand both your research and critical thinking skills and to practice giving
succinct and strong presentations. It also allows you to deepen your knowledge of
a media topic of interest to you. This assignment also requires you to think about
your audience and how you can present your information in both an intelligible and
engaging manner.
*After this assignment is discussed in class, I will not entertain questions like
“What’s the assignment about because I was absent”, “I was not in class and I
want you to explain the assignment for me”. Office hours are for students who
come to class, start working on their assignments and want to show me their
work as they progress for feedback.
Guidelines
a) Go through the topics and papers that I will email you carefully, and decide
on your topic and paper of interest.
b) Go to Blackboard and look at the sign-up sheet for groups that are by paper
titles. Sign up for one of the groups (which means you are also signing up for
which paper you will present on).
c) Begin your in-depth research by reading the article you selected (the paper
details will be found inside your respective group folder). Identify 1 point that
you want to critically discuss from this article. This requires you to be
focused, have a clear research perspective in which you connect this point
that you identify to some form of social, cultural or political setting, again,
through well-reasoned argument (not phrases like “I don’t like it”, “It’s fun
and I enjoyed it”, it’s boring and not professional”, “it’s just entertainment”,
“it’s just a movie” this is not critical discussion of the media).
d) So how? You will need to connect existing ideas in a valid manner. It could
be through comparing newspaper articles, photographic images, short
video/audio clips, or only one of these platforms. This connection should
allow you to reflect on your chosen point. Remember it is a 10 minutes
presentation so if you show us a 10 minutes video for your presentation that
simply means you have not done a presentation. (Take notes of the example I
will present to you now)
e) Prepare your presentation according to the above points and provide a
reference page as your last page in
