Formal Oral Presentations (6 max)

10 minutes. You are welcome to bring a visual or interactive aid.

Your goals:

• Introduce and defend a non-obvious claim that arises from the assigned readings for Unit 3.
• Demonstrate your ability to present more than one side of an issue.
• Demonstrate your ability to use credible sources to support specific claims.
• Avoid normative statements (emotional, personal claims about what the world "should" be like) and focus instead on specific incidents (discuss the effectiveness of a particular law, examine multiple perspectives on a particular historical incident, explore case studies that help you determine where precisely to draw a line between right and wrong).

Your fellow students will be punchy due to the end-of-term workload and the distractions offered by the warm weather, so plan to give the kind of presentation that would hold your own attention in these circumstances.
