Hello, below is a copy of the oral presentation assignment. You should also have notes from the day I assigned it.

Also, reminder:

English 5, College Composition I
SUMMER BRIDGE ACADEMY--2014
Instructor:  Catherine Fraga

Oral Presentation Assignment


The Significance of Home
Assigned:  Second week of semester
Due: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6TH

For this assignment, please select an article, observation, photograph, painting, collage, film, song, poem, essay or anything else that offers some message or reflection on the theme of home.  It could have a personal meaning for you, but it does not have to. 
After you have selected your “item,” write a minimum of one page about the item.  Include a brief description of the item and a detailed explanation of why you chose this item; include a thoughtful commentary.  Proofread carefully for unacceptable errors as well as other proofreading mistakes.
On the day of presentations, please do not read your essay to the class, but simply summarize the main points aloud to the class.  The presentation usually takes only a few moments. You will submit a copy of the essay only to me.                                    
As the semester progresses, you may get ideas for your presentation from our readings, the films we will be viewing, or from class discussions.
Remember that you will not receive this short essay back nor will you receive any credit for the assignment if there are ANY unacceptable errors present.
Please do not take this assignment lightly.  It is worth 100 points.
