Interactive Textual Production and Presentation

Introduction
How interactive a text can you create? How creatively can you manipulate words (physically, intellectually, affectively) and still generate meaning? How thoroughly can you astonish us with your originality?

Please surprise & delight & thrill & awe us with the dynamism of your final assignment. That's it...

Production includes:

• at least eight to ten interlinked screens
  
• the provision of at least two routes of navigation into, through & around your textual production (of which one must be non-linear)
  
• the creative application of meaning-making textual effects
  
• content-building audience interaction
• a link to your hypertext manifesto
  
• fun (please!)

The production earns 75% of the project grade

Presentation (individual) lasts 5 to 7 minutes and does not bore the audience.

Remember:

• rehearse
  
• identify the most presentation-friendly aspects of your production
  
• craft a rhetorically memorable introduction and conclusion
  
• work from notes explicitly designed for the presentation (do not - we entreat you - read your screens)
  
• rehearse
  
• order any additional equipment you may require as promptly as you can
  
• prepare a back-up version of your presentation in case any aspect of the technology you plan to use collapses
  
• time precisely your presentation
  
• rehearse
