Dear students,
Today you will prepare for your final solo presentation which should be a minimum of five minutes in time. You may choose a topic from the following:
a) AI
b) literature
c) climate change
d) globalization
Your speech should be well researched, new and interesting, and contain a critical thinking component. Therefore, in order to be new and interesting, you should not deliver a speech that your classmates may have heard before. Your final presentation is worth 30 points.
Kind regards,
Chris Elvin
