As I stated in class, the group presentations will involve your discussion of the major points of the text(s) for the day, including relevant historical and biographical information.  At the bare minimum, you need to go over the assigned Homework Questions for the day.  You may also use the other discussion questions from our class page for guidance, but you don't necessarily have to answer them all.  I would also suggest you don't simply answer the questions as the sole basis of your discussion.  Instead, investigate and discuss the major themes, many of which are listed in the "Things to Consider" section of the discussion questions page.  Essentially, I would like for you to be as creative as you can at the same time that you facilitate the rest of the class in getting a better understanding of the readings.

• Again, at the bare minimum, you need to go over the assigned Homework Questions for the day.
• Before class on the day of your presentation, Groups are also expected to submit cone copy of an accompanying "script" or "report" or whatever you want to call the hard copy of your presentation (outline, synopsis, etc.) to Canvas.
• If you are using power-point (which is not required), please submit your slides to Canvas at the beginning of the class as well.
• All information taken from secondary sources must be clearly and accurately documented (See Plagiarism Policy ).
• Do not just summarize the text or read from the section introductions in the text.  The class will have read all that already.  You need to go beyond what is presented in the book.
• At the same time, it is recommended that groups recite, or encourage class members to recite, shorter poems.  Doing so helps students get a better feel for the poems.

• Not everyone actually needs to speak during the presentation.  If one member is not as good at public speaking, perhaps that person can be assigned another task.
