nglish 124: Literature & Environment Final Presentation

Directions: For your final presentations, each of you will spend 5-10 minutes discussing a central thematic element of the course. Your selection is entirely up to you, and you should reference at least 3 things we’ve read throughout the course of the semester. During your presentation, please touch on the following: 1) your central thematic element, 2) how the 3 readings highlight/enhance/tie together this theme, and 3) what you gained in your understanding of literature and the environment. You must create a visual of some kind (PowerPoint, Prezi, website, etc.) to enhance your presentation. I will use the Oral Presentation Rubric to grade your final presentations (100 points).
