Oral Presentation of Final Projects due April 23 and 25 (worth 5% of your overall grade, rubric here)

Imagine you are giving a conference presentation.  Your goal is to tell an audience interested in Southern Jewish History and the teaching of undergraduate writing some interesting (for them!) things you learned  from the work you did this semester. The following presentation structure is designed to give you practice in talking about your group’s work on this project.

You have 12-15 minutes to

• Provide an overview of the audiocast—“Our audiocast, entitled ‘ xxxxx’ makes the following claim:….. ; tells the story of X ……;
• Share the contributions it makes to conversations about Kentucky Jewish or American Jewish or Lexington/Louisville community heritage, history, and life
• Explain how the contextualizing approach your group chose is an appropriate frame for the oral histories you researched, included, discussed in the audiocast
• Reflect and share what you learned from your composing/revising process—where did you start out thinking you’d go, where the did the project end up going, what changes you made in your approach and why
• Reflect and share what you learned from the project about being in the position of history-writer(s)? What did you have to navigate in constructing one narrative from multiple approaches? What did you learn about Kentucky history? Jewish history? Kentucky Jewish history?

Include visuals to contextualize what you talk about. They may include a variety of the following:

• images from the Kentucky Digital Library or UK special collections (or elsewhere) to help your audience visual /better understand the context you discuss
• still shots from the video interviews
• historic buildings (i.e. OZS, TAI, etc…)
• block quotes that you include
• your team at work
• something else to help contextualize?

You are welcome to play a short quote or clip, but remember the group has only 15 minutes maximum to present. Every person in the group must speak for at least 2-3 minutes. Make sure you upload your slides to the appropriate forum on Canvas.
