The chapter report is to be submitted on the day of the lecture. It has to be succinct but comprehensive. The format is enclosed.
Presentation
Students work in groups. Each group will perform in two weeks/sessions: one on the theoretical aspects of the assigned chapter (not to exceed 20 minutes), and the other on an analysis of a sample text (not to exceed 30 minutes). Presenters will be assessed both individually and as a group.
Text analysis
