• You will each give a 10-minute individual presentation sometime between April 21 and 28th. (You will also need to have "visual aids" -- posters or a PowerPoint presentation.)
• List three possible topics you would like to research and present to the class. I will help you make a final choice. Think of your own topics; don't copy your classmates. Be creative.
• Your topic should not be too broad or too narrow, and you must learn something new about the topic as you do research and prepare.
• Your topic should be interesting to you, interesting to the rest of the class, and interesting to me.
