TV CRITICISM PRESENTATIONS: You will do an individual 15-minute presentation on one show. Your objective in the presentation is to critically introduce a show in the context of the class, only briefly discussing the premise of the show. The rest of your presentation should focus on some aspect of the show that 1) you think is worthy of highlighting and 2) you can connect to our course content in some way. In other words, if you think the show has an interesting narrative structure, you could talk about that. If you think it represents gender in a way not seen that often, you could talk about that. TALK TO ME if you need assistance. You should show 1-3 clips, and the total time of clips should be NO MORE than 5-7 minutes, possibly less.
