Eng 12 Presentation Project
Grade 12 Presentation
Project
Choose a short piece of text (e.g. poem
or song) that has meaning to you or speaks to you in some deep way.
You will present this short piece of
text to the class.
Talk about the overall meaning of the text. Why should other people know about it? Why
is it meaningful to you?
Details - Who is the narrator? What is
the point of view? Who are the characters? What are the main themes?
Use literary terms we have studied in class
when discussing the text.
Create a pretend homework activity related
to the text that the students could do at home.
You can print the text for the class,
you can put the presentation on computer. You can create visuals (e.g. poster)
if you like.
If you want to use computer, you can use
the LCD that I use in class. Put your presentation on USB stick as the internet
in school is slow and unpredictable. You can use my laptop if you want.
Compatibility is not guaranteed.
In total, your presentation will be 10 minutes.
You will be evaluated on the quality and
depth of your preparation, your analysis of the text, your presentation skills,
and your homework activity. Of course, plagiarized material will receive a 0
and a sanction.
This will be marked out of 20.
Marking rubric:
10pts- depth of analysis of text,
reference to literary terms, etc
4pts- preparation in class, progress
leading to the day, readiness on the day
4pts- presentation, voice and engagement
with class
2pts- homework activity
Step 1
Choose a short piece of text by Sunday
midnight. Send me a copy of it via email. Deadline Sunday midnight.

Step 2

Step 3
