== The expectation is that your group will take this project very seriously and provide 10-15 minutes' worth of interesting, well-planned, accurate information about your book and the issues it explores. Plan to put several hours into the planning and creating of the presentation, and PRACTICE it 2-3 times before you present to the class. You will have 4 lab days in class to do a good portion of this work. ==
