Research Proposal Presentations
So day one of presentations went pretty smoothly as we got to hear about Petrarch's Renaissance with contrasts of humanism and Christianity, how war affects Christianity, reality versus delusions, patriarchy in the modern world, birds in literature, and heroes in society.
This is a huge variety of topics and it was just day one! Each presentation was like a breathe of fresh air and it was interesting observing the different topics people came up with and listening to the reason why they were interested in this topic they've chosen. Everyone pretty much kept the class intrigued and gave plenty of eye contact and side notes that weren't on the slides. It added to the effect of the presentations nicely.
Then came day two with more fresh ideas. It went from the significance of the number seven, Sappho and gender roles, and Antigone in modern politics, to how religion has changed over time, feminine roles in ancient Greek literature, and the literary exploration of feminism in the Canterbury Tales.
Such broad areas were explained with lots of detail and pictures and each presentation was livelier and just as interesting as the day before. Nobody had trouble projecting and collecting their thoughts really. And each person answered questions to the best of their abilities which was admirable.
