The Intellectual and Cultural Revolution Presentations – Thurs., Mar. 7, Mon., Mar. 11, and Tues., Mar 12

The early twentieth century was a time of tremendous change in the arts and intellectual thought. World War One intensified these changes. Your assignment is to pick one of the following individuals and teach the class about how this person’s work both reflected and affected the era. Plan for about a five - seven minute presentation. If you want something printed out for class, you must email it to me before school on Thurs., Mar. 7. If you have a power point, please email it to me before school on the day of your presentation. Send me any youtube links so I can have them ready for you.

By Tues., Feb. 26 (if not earlier) you must submit five choices for your presentation to me. Include people from at least three categories and rank your choices. I will email out a list on the evening of Feb. 27 and put a link off of the Lesson Units page of my website so will you know the order of presentations. Possible Your Points Points You explain how your individual reflects the era 20 You explain how your individual contributed to the era 20 You have some sort of visual aid for your presentation and get it to 10 me before school on March 2 (if to be printed) or March 3. Your presentation is interesting and does not bore the class 10 Total 60

Here are some suggestions for individuals you could examine. Or you could choose someone not on the list. In your presentation, concentrate on their contributions from the beginning of the 20th century through World War Two.

Please pay attention to the time restrictions. I know you’re all enthralling and your subjects are fascinating, but we ’t have world enough and time for you to wax expansive when presenting.
