Description
Synchronous Argumentative Oral
Presentation (15%) (3-5 minutes) in which you enter
into one or more of the debates or questions raised in course readings while
engaging with the argument of one focus article from course readings, as well
as one related, easily accessible audio-visual online source (one minute or less),
such as a YouTube video, a music video, a segment of a TED talk or a political
speech, or online governmental, educational, or promotional material. In order
to effectively engage with the focus article’s argument, early on you should
announce your own thesis and how it relates to or is a response to or builds
upon the argument of the focus article. Constructing and communicating an
effective argumentative oral presentation entails generating evidence for your
own argument, whether that evidence comes from the focus article or
audio-visual material or some other source. In any case, the presentation must
integrate (via quotation, summary, or paraphrase) material from the focus
article to help develop your own argument. Remember, a complex argument considers
or anticipates— and often refutes—opposing arguments and, ideally, supporting
evidence or reasoning.
