House Presentation Rubric
Please note: I'm looking for each of these elements within your presentation, but they do not have to be as disparate as they seem here. You may want to talk about one idea brought up in class, then argue against it with your own ideas, then look at the movies in conjunction with another idea or two, etc. Please do not take the below as a checklist for the order in which you should proceed, only as a list of ingredients. Just as a potent potion is more powerful than the ingredients of which it is composed, so too should your presentation be the more compelling product of your combined thinking.
