*******The slides do not need to have much information on them but please provide me with atleast 10 minutes worth of written speaker notes to be read on each slide. It just has to be 10 minutes in total not 10 minutes on each slide.
**Also need sources on each slide and/or at the end of the presentation

management of topic (the organization of material into a specific and cohesive whole)
delivery (clarity, pacing, emphasis)
******* Choosing a topic: Choose ONE of the topics below
Choosing a topic involves finding a subject that is both of personal interest to you and in some way related to the course.
History of Colonial Long Island
The New York City water supply
History of Central Park
History of Coney Island

Managing a topic:
Managing the topic requires some thought. Many topics are too broad to be discussed in ten minutes. A topic may be investigated from many different angles. You must find a specific aspect of your topic and plan to discuss it in depth.
