Final Presentation Schedule & Guidelines

The next two class meetings (4/22 and 4/24) will consist of presentations of your Stage 5 Public Texts. Each of you will be required to showcase your Stage 5 Public texts to the class, as well as discuss its overall rhetorical dimensions. Don’t worry if you’re not done constructing your public text. Your presentation is meant to give the class a good idea of what you are creating, why you have chosen this particular form for your Stage 4 theory, and how effectively you are communicating with your public audience.

Presentation times are non-negotiable, so make sure to come prepared on your assigned date. Here is the presentation schedule for next week:

Here are the requirements for your presentation:

1. Keep your presentation between 5-6 minutes at the most
2. Start by stating your Stage 4 Essay theory
3. Showcase/describe your Stage 5 Public Text
• How does your public text connect to your Stage 4 Essay theory?
• What is the purpose of your public text? Who is the primary audience for this public text?
• How easy/difficult was it to construct your public text? What other forms did your public text take before you settled on this final form?
4. Provide one (1) open-ended question for class discussion.
• Don’t ask closed questions like this: Did you like my public text?
• Ask open questions like this: Why/how is my public text rhetorically effective?

In addition to this, on the days you are not presenting, you will also be required to complete a 1-page, typed summary AND response to your favorite Stage 5 Public Text presentation. This document should 1) state the name of the author of the public text, 2) detail what the presentation covered, and 3) discuss how/why this public text is rhetorically effective/ineffective. Summary/responses will be due at the start of class, no exceptions.

I look forward to all of your Stage 5 Public Text presentations next week.
