Hello Everyone,
Do you feel like this when giving a presentation, like everyone is impatiently staring at you?...like the instructor is watching the clock to make sure you've met the time requirement?
Rest assured, presentations can be nerve-wracking, but I will guide you, ask questions and help make your blog presentations as stress-free as possible. They're meant for the the class to take over, to show what you've learned about anthropology.
Presentations start tomorrow, and those of you scheduled to go might be a little nervous. This example blog is definitely ammended, but I will go first to show you that all you need to do is confidently review the information and images with the class.
Be sure all group members speak and review an equal portion of the information. Each group member will be graded individually, so one person cannot ride the coat tails of another class member.
Review the requirements:
Groups of 3-4 people will each design a “blog ethnography” on an assigned country.
• The blog will present information and photographs on the following information.
o Be sure to cite research the same way you would in a research paper.
• The blog will be graded on the quality of explanations, information and images by anthropological standards.
• The country’s place on the globe/a description of its geography
• Primary and secondary languages spoken/their influence and importance
• How culture accesses food/how food & cuisine are influenced by culture’s environment
• Marriage customs
• Majority & minority populations
• Cultural constructions within the country’s culture: gender roles, significance of art, religions practiced and the influence they hold
• Political and Social Systems/Social issues facing the country
• How Globalization has affected the culture and its access to technology
