The assignment is to create a PowerPoint presentation (or other multimedia presentation) on a legendary figure, place, item, or event from world literature (1600 CE or earlier). It should contain roughly 800-1200 words of text and some form or forms of other media (art, music, etc.). This length requirement will bend a bit depending on the project type, so contact me with any questions you have.<\/p>\n
Note that all writing in the project should be original; the projects will be run through Turnitin upon submission, and all distinctive matching information caught by Turnitin must be formatted as a quotation. DO NOT copy-paste material without immediately marking it as a quotation and citing it. Any multimedia (art, music) inserted or linked in the presentation should also include full bibliographic information.<\/p>\n
All projects should have:
\n1.a title page
\n2.MLA style citations\/works cited page.
\n3.The project’s text should be 800-1200 words long or so.<\/p>\n
As long as the project has all of these items, you can let your imaginations roam a bit to come up with something really creative.<\/p>\n
Guidelines for Choosing an Topic<\/p>\n
The chosen figure\/place\/event\/item should be known before 1600 CE and be primarily legendary or mythological, not historical. The presentation needs to include a combination of information and analysis, so make sure to choose a figure, etc. that lends itself to analysis.<\/p>\n
Sources<\/p>\n
Required sources:
\n\u2022at least 5 secondary\/critical sources; 2 must be peer-reviewed
\n\u2022at least 1 primary source (literary text, artwork) written\/created before 1600<\/p>\n
DO NOT rely on Wikipedia or About.com as major resources for the project. These can be useful as effective ways to get started, but only use them as a springboard to other stronger resources. The bibliography and further reading sections of Wikipedia pages can be particularly helpful in finding additional sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
