StarB(LIT) Topic: "Genghis Khan" The required slides are: 1) Title slide 2) Basic introduction to the event, place, or figure as he/she/it appears in legend; a focused statement on why this event, place, or figure is interesting and important as a cultural phenomenon (look on this as a sort of "thesis" for the project) 3) Brief discussion of whether or not the figure/place/event is known in different cultures. 4) Overview of the major versions of the legend (pre-1600, post-1600, and modern): what authors are known for writing versions of the story in which the event, place, or figure is found? Are there any other major artistic works (paintings, murals, operas, symphonies) related to the event, place or figure? How this figure, place, or event has survived into modern times or notare there modern (19th, 20th, 21st century) re-workings of the story? This should probably be 3 or more slides long; exact length will depend on the topic. It's not a bad idea to have different group members tackling different periods. 5) Conclusion 6) MLA Works Cited List and Bibliography of Works Consulted (if anyone used works for basic information that they did not cite) Remember that it is all right to make more than one slide per item if there's a lot of information to be covered.
