Presentation Guidelines
You'll want to meet up with your presentation partners at least once or correspond with them via email, and then drop by my office hours or email me to go over your presentation plan. Presentations should be short and direct (6 mins max). Summarize the critical arguments very quickly, and then analyze the author's methodology: What texts are they looking at? How? What critical techniques are they utilizing? It's always helpful to stage this among your presenters: One person presents the argument (What is the author saying?), while another goes "meta" and reflects upon technique (What is the author doing?).
