I had an order completed on this site a few weeks ago by someone, and received a grade of 43/50. I’ve attached the instructions I gave that person, and the presentation he created for me. Professor has given feedback to improve the grade. This is what he said :
I like the point that you made about limited perspective! Particularly in narratives that revolve around young people coming of age, limiting the perspective from which the story is told immerses the reader in the consciousness of the protagonists’ emerging sense of right and wrong, maturation, uneasy relationship to the adult world, etc. Here, of course, the limited perspective works to heighten the impact of the revelation of Harry’s special history.
It’s clear that your are passionate about this text and its portrayal of friendship in the face of overwhelming obstacles. I do think the presentation would have benefited from the model of critical apprecation that I discussed in the video. The more one is emotionally invested in a text, the more important it is to be willing to look at the text objectively – including taking into account its potential shortcomings. Perhaps because of your change in focus partway through this unit, I wasn’t able to give this feedback earlier.
I would also encourage you to think about how to ensure that you are consistently drawing the audience’s attention to specific scenes, passages, etc in your analysis. While I can tell that you are a keen reader of the books, the presentation actually doesn’t highlight or do deep dives into particular moments that might illustrate your broader points (e.g., the point about limited perspective). Note how holding up a particular paragraph or set of paragraphs might have lent further substance to your analysis in this regard.
Thank you for taking these points into consideration! I think you might consider revising this presentation for a potentially higher grade at the end of the semester, too.
The presentation the person made for me that received the 43/50 grade has been attached.
These were the original instructions I gave the person who made the presentation. Please be sure to watch the video by the professor.
Create a Google Slide presentation on a narrative text of your choice. It could be another text, or even a novel, film, or TV show that you enjoy. However, your presentation should include the following:
-Name and author of the work
-A particular investigative angle
-2 slides minimum on summary (paraphrase!) and cultural, historical, or biographical context.
-3-4 slides of analysis of 2-3 elements (setting? character? POV?), with specific examples from specific moments (can include video clips, highlighted parts of text, etc).
-1 slide on your personal reflections (why is this text meaningful to you personally? Be creative in your explanation!)
-Works cited page.
-As this is a research based presentation, you should rely on 3-4 sources, including the actual text.
-EITHER voiceover narration (7-10 mins) OR speaker notes that provide a detailed guide to the content of each slide. NOTE the difference between speaker notes and slide content: slide content should be bullet point based and visually friendly; speaker notes should include what you would say if you were explaining the slide in class. The speaker notes should be in complete sentences and paragraphs, unlike slide content.
NOTES
To fill in speaker notes, you’ll need to write your guide to the slide in the white textbox below the slide.
Your analysis should focus on elements like character, POV, and setting. If you are focusing on a TV show or movie, I would avoid getting sidetracked into discussion of cinematography or acting.
Grading breakdown:
60 points: slide content (is it informative? Efficient? Visually friendly? Well-formatted? Prioritizing interpretation over information? Hewing to assignment requirements? Well-researched?)
40 points: speaker notes OR voice over
Extra credit for quality/polish of presentation, creativity.
I encourage you to also take a look at the examples of previous students’ presentations as well for inspiration:
This LAST video I’ve added a link to below has an example of a presentation done by the professor himself, so you can see what he is expecting, what kind of analysis question you can use, etc. To join, use the nickname “Damanpreet” please. It has to be Damanpreet
