For your final presentation, you will be selecting either a poem, song or quote and describing what it means to you. Your rough outline or essay is due by 11:59 p.m. on May 18.
Ideas for points:
- Reading (with meaning) the entire or part of the selection
- About the author
- What it means to you
- When you first heard or read it
- What or who it reminds you of
- The importance of it in your life
- The effect on you
- Play a part of song
You must turn in a copy of the poem, song or quote with your outline or essay. There will not be an initial essay. However, you may write either an essay or outline and turn that in for your "outline" grade. Remember, this is an 100 point document and you must have all parts (see initial grading) - introduction, 3 points, transitions, conclusion, enough detail for time limit, etc.
