GROUP PRESENTATIONS ANNOUNCED

GROUP PRESENTATIONS
Each assigned group will have 15-20 minutes to give an oral presentation on the assigned chapter for that week. Pick a theme from the chapter and share it with the class in an interesting way. Do not bore us with a mere powerpoint presentation but you can use it if it enhances your presentation. Be creative. Use your own participant-observations in your own communities and cultures. Create a slideshow from pics you took on the subject. Conduct short interviews and present your findings. Create a game of what we learned. Use YouTube to highlight a part of the chapter like the video on the potlatching did. Then start an interesting conversation from it (why was the potlatch banned and what does it say about how culture works?). Or use artifacts, things we actually use in everyday culture (marriage certificates) to allow the class to explore what marriage means.

1. Prepare an interesting presentation on some aspect of the assigned chapter. Include research and collect a bibliography of sources demonstating your research in the matter. 3-5 sources online other than Wikipedia are fine. Also use the bibligraphy in the assigned readings for that week as a reference. Include your bibliography in your blog post.
   
2. Practice your presentation and do not go over the 15 min limit (K.I.S.S.)
   
3. Plan at least one question to lead our group discussion. (i.e., If you had to change your race in the U.S., which would you choose and why? If you could apply generalized reciprocity to an industrial context, which would it be and why?)
   
4. Create a group post before your presentation to get us started. Post it 1-2 days before class meets. Can include any videos or other online materials you intend to use unless you surprise us.
5. Consult the group presentation rubric to see how you'll be informally evaluated. You must participate in a group presentation to pass the class.
   

This group presentation rubric will be used to informally evaluate your presentations and give you feedback
