Presentations - Signup #1

Everyone must sign up for one presentation on a primary source, and one on a secondary source.
  • As always I’m grateful to those who sign up for the earlier ones!
    • Presentations will be given during the class meeting that we discuss that reading.
    • You will also need to submit a written version afterwards. See the the write-up page for more.
    • Note: The write-up requirements are also a good guide to what the presentation itself will need to include.
  • Pick one reading, then click the button to claim it. If there’s a name in bold in front of the reading name, that one’s already been picked by another student.
  • If you want to change the presentation you’ve chosen to a different one, email me and I’ll swap it in the roster.
