Presentation Assignment
You will be assigned, from the course structure, a particular week of the course in which you will deliver a clearly argued and, hopefully, entertaining 5-minute pitch (on and in that week’s class), focusing on your understanding (or ‘take’ on) the relevance of that week’s topic.
Your pitch should be explicit in terms of how it relates to media, society, and/or politics and you must, at the conclusion of your pitch, propose a question to the class to discuss and debate in order to deepen their awareness of the significance of the topic in relation to real world contexts.
Your pitch should contain:
a clear and brief statement about the significance of the topic;
the identification and rationale for ONE key point that you will discuss;
exploration of the value of using key issues, ideas, concepts, debates, perspectives in relation to one chosen media issue/case study;
a neat conclusion with one clearly articulated key takeaway;
finishing with a discussion question or activity you would like the tutorial to pursue.
