Poetry Slam & Final Readings: December 6 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| At the conclusion of the semester, we would like to celebrate the work you have done with a poetry slam and final reading. You are invited to either write a poem or musical piece, which you will perform on the final day of class. You may work alone, or in groups of two or three. We hope you will enjoy preparing for this event, as we would like to encourage you to explore self-expression in a more dynamic and rich way; this project serves as a substitute for the more formal final examination Your final product should include a more thorough examination and exploration of at least two of the subtopics of this course. (Subtopics are listed as weekly subject areas in the syllabus.) You may make it as personal, historical, literary, or political as you would like. There is no style requirement, and no written component. Your presentation does need to be approximately two to five minutes in length; if you choose to work with others, you should simply double your time allotment. Please let us know by November 29 if your presentation will take significantly more time or require any props (TV/VCR, CD-player, etc.) Friends and family are welcome! Your grade, as always, will be based on intellectual effort and execution. Schedule for Bulletin Board leaders:
