You will write a written report of between 700 and 1250 words (roughly 3-5
pages). Your report will cover each of
the items listed as the subject of the project above. You must include materials from at least THREE outside sources (no
more than one web source counts for these three, so that means you at
least need to have two textual sources from books—you certainly are
encouraged to have more than three sources).
The report should have a cover/title page with a copy of the graphic
(please make it large sized) identifying the name/place of the
scene/figure. The cover pages should
also include a title for your report and your name and date. The report should be typed, double-spaced,
and follow MLA Documentation Style. Due

Each presenter will show their graphic and discuss for roughly seven
minutes about their project.
