These are weird times. I’ll admit, when this all started, I had high hopes that this would be easy. When putting together revised syllabi, I really tried to be mindful of the circumstances that might make school hard for my students during the pandemic:   ·       Family members to take care of ·       Shared computers ·       Revised work schedules ·       Unreliable internet This is why I opted for asynchronous classes, relaxed deadlines, etc. Somehow, in the process, I didn’t think about how this would affect me.

Presentations without an audience make no sense. For those who still have presentations to complete, there are new parameters geared to our newly online classroom. Most importantly, this assignment is  no longer a presentation .  A few things about the assignment will remain the same: 1.      Your grade is still individual 2.      You are not required to work as a group [1] 3.      Focus on one aspect/section of the reading and build on it with your own research 4.      It should include relevant visual elements 5.      It should be shared with your classmates As for how you execute it, there are options!

Plan on having 5 sections with obvious sub-headings  (see how I’ve been mode...
