Literary Presentations/Reports (Due on the Date For Which You Have Signed Up)

Directions: Each student will sign up for a topic and date to give a presentation (10-15 minutes in length) and lead the class in a discussion of the assigned reading for that day. You will be required to submit a paper containing all of the information you are including in your report on the day of your presentation. You will receive bonus points if you bring copies for the entire class to read over during your presentation (there are 38 students enrolled in the course, plus the instructor). Guidelines for the report are as follows:
1. Brief description of the Literary Period of the author and work.
2. Brief biography of the author.
3. Historical context of the work.
4. Literary Analysis, including but not limited to: theme, style, figurative language, key terms, etc.
