Introduction

During this week, you will give your final presentation. Please come to Dial 149 or Dial 128 at the time listed under “Schedule” in the box at the left. Please note that you have only 15 minutes at the time assigned. If you arrive late or fail to arrive at all without adequate advance notice, your grade may suffer. The material below is designed to help you succeed on this presentation.

Discussion

Final Presentation

Drawing on the material in your evaluation, you will make a presentation arguing for the grade you believe your final portfolio merits. Like the written evaluation, this presentation should state a clear claim and support it with evidence drawn from at least five sources, including your written evaluation and proposal, this syllabus, the department guidelines for ENG 106, and at least one of the textbooks for this course. You also must use at least one visual aid to make your case. Because you have only 15 minutes to make this argument, you will want to be concise. After you make your oral argument, I will ask you a few questions about terms and concepts we have covered in the course.

Use the following checklist to prepare for this presentation:

__ I have a clear idea of the quality of my writing and can make a clear, organized, and engaging presentation in which I orally argue for a specific grade that I believe my work merits.

__ I have a visual aid, such as a handout or a PowerPoint display, to supplement my oral remarks during the presentation.

__ I have achieved all of the objectives listed in the lessons we have completed thus far.

__ I can define all of the terms listed in the lessons we have completed thus far.

__ I have practiced my oral argument, and I believe that it fulfills the requirements and criteria listed on the syllabus.

Conclusion

We will meet one last time next week so that you can pick up your portfolios. This class meeting will last only about 30 minutes.
