Book Presentation
The Oral presentation should focus on:
- the relevance of the book to issues we have been discussing, to the help
it gives (or does not give) you in understanding major themes, ideas, goals of
the class.
- your reaction to the text--what surprised you? what had you
not considered previously?
- why or why not are you recommending this book to your
colleagues?
Provide your colleagues with a handout:
- short biography of author (in addition to consulting the Internet, consult
the
Literature Resource Center, available through Stewart Library)
- complete bibliographic citation of text (use Chicago Style Manual, i.e.
Turabian)
- complete citations of any scholarly book reviews you may have consulted.
