Midterm report presentations

Select a topic related to the day's scheduled reading, plan to talk for at least ten minutes, tell us something you find interesting or problematic about your topic (something we won't have read in the assigned texts) and give us at least a couple of discussion questions. Cite your sources. You can make a slideshow if you want, or show us a video clip, or prepare a script, or just talk. Whatever works, but if it's a nice day, be prepared to take us outside.

Indicate your date and topic preference (and your 2d choice) in the comments space below by Sep.19, first come first served. I'll assign a date and topic if you haven't selected one. We'll need to have two reports on some days but just one on most.
