Presentation component

You will introduce a movie which has artificial intelligence as a theme or character. Speak for about 5 minutes, describing the setting (time and place), situation, premise, characters, plot, conflict, and other interesting points of the movie. Tell why you like it or why it is interesting or exciting. Then you will show us a scene from the movie, also about 5 minutes long. If you like, you may be able to show us some scenes silently as you speak, too. You may use PowerPoint if you wish. A VHS tape may work better than a DVD for this, if you have both. If you only have a DVD, try to choose a scene near the beginning of a chapter, so it does not take too long to get through the DVD to the scene that you have chosen. This is 20% of your grade for this course. Try to speak to the class, not read a prepared script! You will confirm, or check your choice of film with me, please. Prepare well, practice, and good luck!
