Presention Schedule

Hello All,

Below find the presentation schedule for next week. Each presentation is to run between 15-20 minutes, with 3-5 minutes of responses and questions from the audience included.

On the day of your presentation, be sure that you have your handouts printed and copied 10 times by the time class begins.

Also, remember that if you plan on using the media technology in the classroom for your presentation, you must do the following. First, notify me via email as to which technology you will require; i.e., hardware and/or software. Second, save all necessary information and documentation on a personal USB flashdrive. There is not enough time in the meeting period for presenters to retrieve materials from their email archives. Therefore, the only acceptable means of accessing your presentation materials is via a USB flashdrive.

Bomb It! and Style Wars

Hi All,

I hope that your second paper 's writing process went along nicely this weekend. I want to provide everyone with the YouTube link to the film we watched today, Bomb It!. You may certainly use this text in your upcoming paper's revision if you wish. Be sure you properly cite any references you make!

Best,
s.

Also, you may be interested in the following document from 1983 titled Style Wars. It's a classic. Enjoy! (This full-length video has Spanish subtitles.)
