Assignment
Prompt
During the semester, you will give oral summary presentations on two articles from The Economist online (economist.com). Each of these oral assignments will be worth 10 points.
Oral Summaries should be 30 to 60 seconds long and include the following:
• Title of the article, date of publication
• Main point(s) of the article-and a few specific and powerful details the writer uses to support the main points
• If time: What you found most interesting and/or why you chose the article
Prepare these oral presentations in advance. You must get your point across in a limited number of words, so be prepared to speak concisely.
Two reasons we do this:
• You get to practice organizing information in a "business structure" (main point up top, supporting evidence/points following).
• 30-60 seconds is just enough time to concentrate on and practice one presentation skill (eye contact, fillers, etc.) that you need to improve.
Article Requirements
You must choose an Economist article published during the semester you are taking the class. For example, you may not present an article from May during the Fall semester. Otherwise, you are not restricted in the type of article you choose.
