Group Presentation Session on July 15, Friday

1. each presentation is 10-minute-long; each followed by a 5-min Q&A session;

2. Frame your arguments with theories/discussions by S&C, and illustrate your ideas with examples/case studies taken from the media, could be images only; try NOT to simply present the case studies/examples without analysis, and try to show their linkages, and focus on a central set of arguments instead of many, scattered arguments; you don't have to exhaust all the perspectives you learn from the textbook; new ideas are encouraged too;

3. We would assign commentators on the site.

4. Enjoy, and please contact me if you have any questions.
