Presentation #2: Library Research
The purpose of the library research presentation is for presenters to demonstrate ability to read, comprehend, synthesize, and discuss information in a text, and show how that relates to their current research essay.
Prepare: Choose a source you found that you may want to use in Essay 2.
Introduce the title, author(s) or source of the item and display the APA citation.
Summarize the article (or other source).
Present your response about the article to the class, for example, what do you think of the article: Is it relevant? Why is it important or not? Is it accurate? Biased?
Discuss how the source is relevant to Unit 7.
Discuss how the source might be used in an essay or during a quiz.
Each student has 7 minutes (no more!) to present this information. A brief question/answer period will follow. Be sure to PRACTICE with a TIMER to be sure your presentation fits the time limit. Time: 7 minutes.
You may use Power Point, Prezi, or some other software to make their presentation, but are not required to do so. SAVE YOUR PRESENTATION ON A FLASH DRIVE YOU CAN EASILY LOAD INTO THE COMPUTER ON YOUR PRESENTATION DAY.
