English for Mass Media: Presentation

You should read the work completely. You can do a Powerpoint, but this is not a requirement. The presentation must be no less than 10 minutes per person.

1.) Begin your presentation by covering the six categories that we've reviewed (occasion, subject, audience, genre, medium).

2.) Describe the historical situation. What was happening when the article was published?

4.) Tell us if you think this work is still relevant. Should we still be studying and reading it?
