For your next presentation (#3), each of you is assigned a book below that at some point during the 20th century was considered a classic or was a major award winner. You will be presenting an excerpt of approximately 2-3 minutes from the book and an introduction (before or after the excerpt) that explains the book, why you think it was so highly regarded and should it still be read today. I did a random draw for books, but if you wish to switch amongst yourselves, please let me know who you are switching with.
These presentations are due on two dates based on their themes. The date included below is the original publication date, however the version that you use can be any later reprint.
