Mini-report:

The mini-report consists of three components:

1. The in-class team presentation lasting 5 minutes (2 ½ to 3 minutes each): Each member of the two-person team presents half of the report. You'll want to exchange email addresses, phone numbers, etc. to coordinate your research, writing, and web design (if relevant).

2. The write-up, posted to the appropriate Angel discussion forum: You must post as a team, so make certain each member agrees on the version you submit to me for grading. Use MS Word to write a report of at least two full pages in Times New Roman, 12 pt. type, double-spaced, with 1" margins.

Copy and paste the finished write-up to the discussion list, providing appropriate attribution to each other, and to sources used. Please do notattach the Word file since we don't want to waste time opening extra programs to access information. You must also submit a hard copy to me and an upload to Turnitin.com.

3. A handout: The handout might be a chronology, an outline, a bulleted list, or a hard copy of your discussion list post. Print enough for each member of your class - that's roughly 26 (25 students, 1 professor).

Possibilities for this report include any of the following:

• Introduction to authors

• Discussion of one or more critical works relating to the era

• Background about the social and intellectual connections among certain groups of authors

Note that these are broad topics; you must tailor the topic you choose to fit your own interest and the time available. Do not use encyclopedias and internet searches to gather data. Research using books, online library databases, and articles from scholarly journals.
