Sophomore Presentations

The final Honors assignment for the year is a PowerPoint presentation on two 20th century British authors. To view which authors you have selected, download the Word document.

The assignment is to create and deliver a presentation of at least twelve slides – one for a title, five for each author, and one for resources. For each author, include the following:

  • A picture of the author 
  • Short biography 
  • Images and text related to major works 
  • Major themes, settings, genre
  • Focus on most important work, or the most important aspect of their work

Your title page should include your name, class and date. Your resources slide should use MLA citations. Consider the quality of a source before you use it, and remember that the best way to avoid plagiarism is clear documentation.

Avoid Wikipedia, and cite ALL information and photos. Looking deeper than Wikipedia (or to the page's references) will reveal the many sources behind that single, heavily-plagiarized page on your author. Forms for citation can be found on Research and Documentation Online.
