Slides may include more than one image.  Detail images must be identified as such, and the complete work from which they are taken must be represented via a link or small image for reference.  Graded on interest of the topic,  authority of information, coherence of presentation, timing, and slide quality.   
     

      III.  Process Writeup    3-5 pages PLUS image list and source list.  [50 pts]
    NOTE This is NOT a written version of your presentation.  Think of it more like a lab report:  It should give a brief SUMMARY of your presentation, but mostly be devoted to a description of your PROCESS, including:
    your reasons for pursuing the topic,
    specific decisions and/or  challenges  you encountered in the course of researching your subject
    Decisions you had to make in preparing your presentation – the sequence of slides, the timing, etc.
    A reflection on what you have gained or learned from the work you have done, including the presentation itself. 
        Appended to your writeup must be
    a fully identified  list of the images in your presentation, with thumbnails  (not included in page count)
    a fully documented source list. (not included in page count)
    Due 11:59 pm on presentation date

    * this is a guideline based on the alloted time.  If you present a montage of images, or even a little film, you may be able to use more than ten.
