Task
Over the reading week you must prepare a 10 minute presentation on one of the text's we've studied for this part of the course. You can choose to do a presentation on any poem - from Tales From Ovid by Ted Hughes, the novel Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys or a short story from Dubliners by James Joyce. You can choose a poem, secton of the novel or short story we have already studied or you can choose one or a section we have not looked at together. You can also do a presentation on a topic or feature that spans more than one text.
You can do your presentation on any topic or feature of the text of your choice.
It is important that each student does a presentation on a different topic or feature.
