Order Description
This may be “fictional” or you may actually attend somethings, but I would see it being on the side of “fictional” so long as that it is not a dead give away it did not happen. A presentation on global warming is something you could use and go from that.
For this essay you must “attend” a public presentation and then critique the speaker(s) Your critique should be in the form of a short paper of around 500-700 words. Be sure to critique the speaker rather tan provide a summary of the presentation. The following are not acceptable presentations to critique.
A church service or sermon
A sales presentation at the fair or other trade show
Anything on television or video
A classroom lecture( Although it may be a non class or special lecture)
A presentation with fewer than five audience members.
Now that the “paper requirements” are out of the way.
This will be evaluated on the thoroughness of the critique but a poorly or sloppily written paper will be devalued.
