FAO Yr 1: 'The Time Machine 9'


Just a reminder to the Time Machine Managers and their teams - you need to ensure the flow of your resulting collaborative presentations for the symposia satisfy the 'Time Machine 9' - you may want to copy/paste this criteria into a specific post on your respective TM Blogs. Information is just information until you impose a structure on it (an argument or through-line or particular spin). Indeed structure is key to successful assignment writing, crit presentations and online interim reviews... You should be very familiar with this criteria already, but see below for a refresher...

1) A clear introduction to your presentation, which should also mention the different published sources you have used and your reasons for choice. You should use no less than 5 published sources to inform your presentation.

2) A clear definition of key ideas relating to your given topic, with supporting evidence in the form of, no less than, 3 quotations from 3 different published sources. Quotations must be interpreted and their importance discussed, they should also be referenced correctly using the Harvard method.

3) The cultural context (political and social) in which the topic came out of/was in reaction to.

4) An illustrated ‘who’s who’ of key individuals associated with given topic, with a clear explanation of what you think their significance is and why.

5) Historical examples of key words/images/artefacts associated with given topic and an assessment of their importance.

6) Contemporary examples of key words/images/artefacts associated with given topic and a comparison to the historical examples.

7) A ‘bullet point’ conclusion.

8) A bibliography and illustration list correctly set out using the Harvard method.

9) A PDF version of presentation for uploading to myUCA.
