Hero Myth Presentation

Your presentation should consist of a 8-10 minute speech about a film, novel, video game, or other approved story of your choice, utilizing a Wikispaces page, a Powerpoint presentation, or a Web page you have designed. DO NOT use a format you are not sure how to create, unless you are willing to experiment and learn on your own time. You should format your presentation as follows (unless you prefer to do otherwise...in which case, don't ask me how to do it). You should include 15 of the 18 possible steps (if you have any less, you must inform Mr. Garlick prior to your presentation to discuss your options with him). You may include two short 30 second film clips in your presentation. You must include some type of visual media, such as screenshots, photos, art, etc. You should be sure to include the following information in your presentation.

Title Page w/ your name Summary of less than 50 words Separation Phase Steps in the Separation Phase Initiation Phase Steps in the Initiation Phase Return Phase Steps in the Return Phase Conclusion

NOTE: Be sure to detail why each step in the journey is significant. Reading the text off your presentation and not offering any additional commentary is grounds for a point deduction, so be sure to be famiilar with your material, and review the Hero Cylce as necessary (all the information is up on the Wiki).

The Presentation will consist of 100 points in the following categories.

Inclusion of Title Page, Summary, & Conclusion 10 pts. Division into 3 phases 10 pts. 15 of 18 steps included 10 pts. 8-10 minutes 10 pts. Quality of visual aid used 10 pts. In-class preparation 10 pts. Inclusion of additional visual media 10 pts. Thoroughness of description 10 pts. Knowledge/Familiarity with the material 10 pts. Demonstrate Characteristics of Appropriate 10 pts. __Public Speaking__ 100 pts.

ALSO: Failure to present on the day you are signed up for will result in an automatic 10 pt. deduction from your overall possible grade. You will be given a 30 second grace period for the time allotted for the presentations. 5 points will be deducted for every minute by which you suprass the time window.
