Prepear a Research Presentation on World Cinema.
You will select and research a national cinema of your choice.
I must approve your choice. Approval will be on a first come first served basis. (Everyone will be doing a different nationality)
Your research should include a minimum of 9 different quality texts and involve screening several films. You must submit a bibliography in Chicago/Turabian Style. Remember you are covering this material for the course. Be sure you use credible sources and that you cover the key elements for your topic.
Time: No more than 30 minutes
Think of the most interesting way to present the material. You could: show clips from films to illustrate your points. Use a PREZI or PowerPoint. Provide handouts. Have a discussion. Ask questions. Etc...
Because this material will be part of the examination, think about how you can help your fellow students remember it:
1. Guiding questions
2. Outline of the notes
3. Notes on the board
4. A summary of key points
5. A hand out
6. Stop and ask questions
7. Have discussions.
Try to be creative in your presentation. People don't listen when they are bored and they don't learn if they don't listen.
Two main principles in presenting:
1. Be thorough
2. Be interesting.
