SIGN-UPs for next week



==>>Here is the link to the sign-up sheet for next week's in-class presentations (M,W) and group conferences (T,TH). These are opportunities for you to get feedback about your public argument

You must sign up for a presentation or a conference; preference for in-class presentations will be given to student projects that are visual in nature. 


(Visual) in-class presentations take the form of a "lightning talk." Depending on how many students sign up, you will have three-five minutes to describe your project and show a few slides/clips/visuals (or show the whole thing if it fits into that time frame). Your classmates will fill out a feedback form to give you, or if there is enough time you can answer questions. This is especially appropriate if your public argument is mainly visual: a powerpoint, a video, a website, a blog, a poster. 

One-hour group conferences will meet at my office in a conference room, with me and 2-3 other students. You will each have approximately 15 minutes to talk about your project and get feedback. This is especially appropriate if your public argument is a written one (speech, article, letter to a public official) and you want feedback on your writing. If you want feedback on your writing, bring 3-4 printed copies of your public argument to the conference.
