The+assignment

Of necessity, the instructions for this assignment are somewhat vague. Each student will have to explore different resources and will need to develop an individual approach to the subject. The goal is a brief but detailed exploration of some narrowly defined aspect of Pop Lit in the early 20th century until now.


 * TOPIC:** Your topic should address and advance your knowledge. Science and technology change too quickly to rehash old "stuff." Old "stuff," other than as background information, or to show progress in a particular area of research, is not advancing your knowledge and can produce misleading or wrong conclusions. Make sure the sources you use are up to date.


 * AUDIENCE:** Your paper should be understood by a broader audience than scholars in your field. You will have to explain concepts and not expect your audience to understand in-house jargon. Pretend that I do not have any prior knowledge of the topic.

**Final Product:** Your final product should be a 4-10 slide powerpoint that gives information about your topic in an interesting manner for the audience.
Each slide should have:

1. The essential question that you want to answer. 2. Picture 3. 3-4 bullet points of information
