Anth319.L90 & L91 LAB

Content – Writing

• The presentation has a title page listing presenter(s) name and class information.
• All material is in publishable form; that is, it is thoroughly, scrupulously proofread, with no careless errors.
• All information is researched to some extent, well written and well organized.
• Material shows a strong understanding of some major ideas covered in lectures (i.e., liminality, gatekeeping, coding, spatial dynamics, habitus, etc. Use course handouts for review). In addition, material displays critical thinking in the placement of text(s), in the sequencing of images, and in the overall composition of the project.

Content – Technical Aspects of the Presentation

• Presentation includes a variety of media (hyperlinks to outside resources, graphics, audio, video).
• Presentation has a professional look with an overall graphical theme that appeals to the audience, compliments the information, and is visually neat.
• Presentation uses appropriate amounts of text, graphics/video, audio/sounds that communicate and those chosen compliment the information shared in the presentation.
• Presentation visually depicts material and appeals to the audience. In addition, presentation demonstrates the attempt to do a visual ethnography, even if it is in miniature.

Communication

• A variety of forms (i.e., handouts, examples, discussion questions) are offered to the audience during the presentation. Simple screen reading is supplemented with these forms.
• Each element of the presentation serves as a lead into the wealth of additional information on the fieldwork project.
• Eye contact is maintained with the group and the voice is modulated. Both add to the visual on-screen presentation.
• Audience understanding is monitored at the conclusion of the presentation via questions and answers, open discussion, etc.
• Allotted time is utilized effectively.

Technical Organization

• The audience receives a handout (or URL/blog post) with additional resources about the presentation.
• An electronic form of the presentation is given to the instructor (if in accordance with the assignment instructions -This is Due December 3).
• Note: We will be presenting in our classroom. You will be able to use your class laptops. It is good practice when presenting to save your presentation in multiple formats (CD, USB drive) and to have a backup copy of your presentation. You should always test your presentation on a variety of computers.

We will be meeting at The Alumni Center, School of Education, Health and Human Performance for Dr. Maciej Baranowski’s talk at 4pm on Monday.  The Alumni Center is located at 86 Wentworth Street (on the corner of Wentworth and St. Philip Streets, across from Yo Burrito).  I will head over to Bell after the presentation if anyone wants to start the open lab early.

Cheers,
Joey

Fair Use Facts

Hello everyone,

I have been given permission to use a student ethnography from another school, and I thought you would find it interesting.  There may be more forthcoming, which I will post here as well.

I hope you enjoy what Alex Antram has done! Your comments will be welcome!

FRONTIERS: A JOURNAL OF WOMEN STUDIES

“A Special Issue…Scholarship on “women’s clubs” – organizations created and controlled by women – has flourished in the humanities and social sciences for the past thirty years. This special issue of Frontiers calls for retrospective examinations of the field and for essays whose innovative questions forecast its future. The topics for these essays are open. Possible themes include asking how clubs construct numerous types of identities to how they shape notions of place, from local to global. Papers can explore how clubs engage in culture productions, genteel and popular, and all kinds of politics, ranging from personal to transnational, radical to conservative…Due date for Receipt of Papers is January 2, 2008.” Please see the Web site for more information.
