Purpose and Content
The purpose of this
assignment is to launch the class into discussions of the authors' lives and of
the lives of women through the ages. You will present to the class a
report on the life of one of the writers we are discussing or on a particular
aspect of women's experiences.
The Technical Parameters
Please follow these
guidelines:
- Your report should
last 5 to 10 minutes, not including time for questions and answers at the
end.
- You must submit a
typed outline of the material you plan to cover.
- The typed outline
must include a list of “Works Cited” or "Works Consulted" at
the end. Please follow MLA guidelines for citing your sources.
Grading Criteria
You will receive two
grades, one for the lecture and one for the outline.
The lecture will be
graded as follows:
A.
You
presented your material on the date you were scheduled to present.
B.
You
were not prepared on the scheduled date but presented your material at a later
date.
F.
You
decided not to give the report.
The typed outline will be
graded as follows:
A.
Excellent—Your outline is well organized and reveals a breadth of
research. The information presents many little known facts. You
compiled information from many sources. All your sources are documented
appropriately, and your writing contains very few errors.
B.
Good—Your outline is well-organized and reveals some good research.
It covers many facts. You gathered information from several sources.
C.
OK—Your outline is well-organized but doesn't go into much depth.
You got your information from only one or two sources.
F.
You decided not to submit the outline. Or you neglected to cite your
sources!
Those are the basic
grading criteria. In addition to those, be aware that having several
errors in grammar and mechanics will lower your score by one grade.
