This assignment should be well underway by the middle of the semester. 
 

The object of this assignment is for us to reverse roles so that you, the students, become the professors, while I become the student.  To that end, you will:
 

	divide up into groups of two.
	prepare a twenty-minute lesson entitled "Women Today" what is in this lesson is up to you two, but it should involve HISTORY--especially some sense of how your various definitions and illustrations of life today have their roots in the past that we have studied.  You may use any sort of audio-visual material that you want, just be sure that the bells and whistles do not overpower the thesis of your lesson. consider for a topic something we've already studied.
	hand in an annotated bibliography created by the group which includes all of the sources that each of you consulted throughout the semester (use Chicago Manual of Style)

Both members of the group will get the same grade, so you must police each other to make sure that no one person does all the work. 
 

Basically, I want you to pretend that I know nothing about popular culture, current history, or your generation.  I want you to teach me about what issues concern your generation, or where your generation stands on topics of concern to past generations.  We'll be talking more about this assignment throughout the semester, but feel free to consult me anytime.
 

You will be graded on the thoroughness of your research, the depth of your analysis, the bibliography (done correctly), the suitability of your topic, your ability to place it in an historical context (that is, to know and understand the historical roots of your topic), and your presentation.  Please do not stand before us and read word for word.  Be creative.  Have fun.  This is worth 100 points.
