MAC computers in computer labs on campus have recording technology built in that students can use to do this. One effective approach to the presentation is to create a screencast, by overlaying your voice onto a visual presentation, such as PowerPoint. Presentations may be submitted in any file format that can be easily shared with the rest of the class.
Exercise your creativity and choose a presentation format that suits your interests and technical expertise. The format of the presentation is flexible: podcast, video, multi-media (text/image/voice). Your presentation should be about 10 minutes long, so it should be focused on some aspect of the material or site that you can adequately convey in a short time. Your job is to find something interesting, learn about it, and then conceive of an effective way to present some of that information to your classmates. This assignment will require some research into an early Chinese archaeological site of your choice. Students are encouraged to discuss potential topics with the instructor during office hours (TTH 2:30-4pm in WCH 5.104c). For keyword searches, use the Bibliography of Asian Studies, available through the UT Library. Another excellent resources is Ancient Chinese Civilization: Bibliography of Materials in Western Languages, compiled by Professor Paul R. These are detailed in the course bibliography of archaeological sites. Several archaeological sites have abundant English-language sources. Use the footnotes to find additional sources. Many sites are discussed in our textbook. Ideally, the presentation assignment will serve as a starting point for your short paper assignment, due at the end of the semester.
