論文作業
這門課你要撰寫四篇論文，共約20-25頁。最低要求修改第一篇，不單只是要校對，還要實實在在地反覆思考；論文其後會再次評分；其他的論文也可以修改，但這不是必需。

簡報
以下是六個簡報的可能日期，每次各有幾個選擇。簡報當天大多是論文到期日子。發表簡報的學生論文自動延期（2-3天；較長延期可以商量）。
O在這幾天，請考慮你的時間表，以電郵通知我你偏好的日期、文本或一同工作的同學。（如果你情願一起工作，共同簡報，這也可以；但你們必須互相溝通和事先通知我你們計劃如何。）每一天我會指派兩三名。
簡報有兩種選擇。其一是口頭報告你正在準備的論文，並事先分派你要講述的論點大綱給大家。你可得到一些可被融入到最後論文的回應和意見。其二是較深入思考當天的材料並（或）做一些研究，在課堂發表，從而提出一些討論的問題。（任何此類的研究將可能融入其後的論文。）
簡報日期
第八課：簡報你第一份論文的概念（蒙田Montaigne, Lery, 《耶穌會記敘》(Jesuit Relations）)
第十二課：簡報你第一或第二份論文的概念（《暴風雨》，Strachey，Smith，《風中奇緣》）；帶領討論《暴風雨》
第十六課：帶領討論《風中奇緣》（資料的利用，認知）；簡報第二份論文的概念
第廿一課：帶領討論Jemison或《魯濱遜漂流記》的開場文字；簡報第三份論文的概念(Smith, Rowlandson, Jemison)
留意：第三份論文是在第廿一課到期，不是第二十課。
第廿六課後兩天：（班上組合稍後安排）帶領討論《仇敵》；簡報第四份論文的概念（笛福Defoe, Coetzee, Walcott）
第廿七：帶領討論Walcott；簡報第四份論文的概念。

Presentations
Below, you'll find six possible dates for presentations, each with a couple of options for what to do. You will notice that the presentations mostly fall on the same day your essays are due. Presenters will have an automatic extension on the essay (2-3 days; longer extensions can be negotiated).
Over the next few days, please think about your schedule, and e-mail me before the weekend any preferences you may have regarding dates, texts, or classmates to work with. (You can work collaboratively on a joint presentation if you wish, but you should in any event talk to each other and to me in advance about what you plan to do). I will assign two or three people to each date.
You have two kinds of options for your presentation. The first is to present your paper in progress orally, talking through the argument from an outline which you will also give us. In turn, you'll get responses and suggestions which you can incorporate in the final paper. The second is to do a little research and/or deeper thinking about the materials for the day, present this to the class, and from there raise some questions for discussion. (Any such research might fit into a subsequent essay).
Dates for Presentations
Session 8: Present ideas for your first essay (Montaigne, Lery, Jesuit Relations); Lead discussion on the movie How Tasty.
Session 12: Present ideas from the first essay or for the second essay (Tempest, Strachey, Smith, Pocahontas); Lead a discussion on The Tempest.
Session 16: Lead a discussion on Pocahontas (use of sources, reception); Present ideas for the second essay.
Session 21: Lead a discussion on Jemison or on the opening of Crusoe; Present ideas for the third essay (Smith, Rowlandson, Jemison).
NOTE this change: the third essay will be due on Session 21, not Session 20.
Two days after Session 26: (Makeup class to be scheduled). Lead a discussion on Foe; Present ideas for the fourth essay (Defoe, Coetzee, Walcott).
