JOUR1000 Tutorial Presentation 20%
In class in week one you will select (or be allocated) a presentation topic from the
ESSAY AND PRESENTATION TOPICS Sheet on Blackboard.
Research your topic, looking for reputable sources, official reports and peer-reviewed papers.
Also look for relevant recent media examples or commentary.
Consider the topic in the context of the essay topic it is associated with and, if relevant, in relation to the issues covered in the text and lectures.
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation to share your research with classmates, who may use your sources in their essays.
Aim to present for 10 minutes and to facilitate a class conversation on your topic for 5 minutes.
Submit your PowerPoint (or other file type) to Blackboard on the day of your presentation. If you have made a video presentation put a link to your video and the password into a Word document to submit it to Blackboard. ALSO send it to your tutor the day before your presentation, to save time in class finding it.
To submit your script, copy and paste it onto the last couple of slides of the ppt you submit to Bb. The class doesn’t need to see it, but it can be read at the point of marking on Bb.
