Industry and business - topic 1

for one century or the overvThree groups will present on the three centuries. An overview of the past few hundred years will start out the meeting.
What should a presentation look like? Up to you. My guess is: at least 10-12 slides, a resource list, a handout, and a lively presentation. 5-15 minutes should give you all the time you need. Think how you would like to include the class into the presentation. Be sure to involve all group members.

The topic of politics was'nt chosen by anyone. So it is dead.
The second topic is Health and Sports. We did not cover this on 10-17 and will address it after the conferences.
The third topic will be health.
Number 4 would be the Role of women.

What's expected of you now? That you peruse all the listings and select one that interested you. Write a blog post about the one that caught your attention. Why did you like it? Was it the topic that attracted you? The presentation? After a paragraph of that, now expand on the topic yourself. Obviously this is now limited to the first topic (business and industry) and the general overview, the 18th, the 19th, or the 20th century.

-- Create a new post with the topic as header and the names of the previous "specialists" who presented in class in the body of text.
-- Research and expand on one aspect of the topic.
-- Add 300-500 words of your own research.

This is due October 24.

Be prepared to step in front of the class to explain and relate your expansion of the topic.
