B 1.1 final speaking project.

This is your final speaking project which you will present

on April 9 6:30-8:30 pm

The focus of this project is classical American and English authors.

Below you will see a short list of some prominent writers

Only one author per group or person, so first come first served.
Let me know in class ASAP,  who you have chosen.

The Project:

The project can be presented individually, with a partner or in a group.

You should very briefly describe the author’s autobiography.

The autobiography should be very short as the focus of the project is the writings and not about their lives.

Next you should focus on some of the author’s important works with out giving away the full story.

Remember the objective is to convince other students to read some of these classical stories.

You will need to do your presentation in front of an audience.

Remember use your imagination

Your presentation should last at least 5 minutes per person.
