unit and create a persuasive e presentation. For example, you could choose a topic about postmodern literature or Beat
poetry, such as these examples:
• Motif became one of the most important elements of postmodern narratives, such as in John Updike's "The Brown Chest.
Beat poetry emerged from the need to amend social Injustices in society.
You can select any topic connected to the unit. Make sure to pick a topic that you find interesting and wish to learn more about
Choose a position on the topic. Your presentation should persuade your audience about your viewpoint.
As you select your topic, consider two important aspects of any public speaking opportunity: purpose and audience. Make sure
you have a firm understanding of why and to whom you will be presenting. This information will help determine your topic and
the tone of your speech. Obviously, a presentation on marine life would not be appropriate for an assignment on tragic heroes
in your literature class, nor would it be appropriate for a group of experienced marine biologists who already know its contents.
Type your chosen topic and notes about your position on the topic in the space provided.
