Signup #1 – Presentation on a Primary Source
Everyone must sign up for one presentation on a primary source and one presentation 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. The write-up requirements are 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.
