This is a multimedia presentation, like our first project. With this one, though, you have quite a lot of freedom in topic choices!

Choose a figure/place/event/item known before 1600 CE that is primarily legendary or mythological, not historical. The presentation needs to include a combination of information and analysis, so make sure to choose a figure, etc. that lends itself to analysis.

Required sources:

at least 4 secondary/critical sources; 1 must be peer-reviewed
at least 1 primary source (literary text, artwork) written/created before 1600

Requirements:

There should be a combination of visuals and written sketch (think about 250-500 words). The writing can be in the animation/slides themselves, or it can be separate such as in the speaker’s notes or a Word document meant to accompany the presentation.

All aspects of the project should be your own impression and words, but the visuals can come from anywhere, so have fun with that Google Image search.

Presentation options:

Powtoon
Prezi
Biteable
Moovely
Animoto
Audio Voiceover
Instagram

Note that all writing in the project should be original; the projects will be run through Turnitin upon submission, and all distinctive matching information caught by Turnitin must be formatted as a quotation. DO NOT copy-paste material without immediately marking it as a quotation and citing it. Any multimedia (art, music) inserted or linked in the presentation should also include full bibliographic information.

All projects should have:

A title slide.
MLA, APA, or Chicago citations/works cited page (for the images, music, etc, as no research is required).
The project’s text should be approximately 250-500 words
