Project groups presented their work over the course of three days. The teams had the following guidelines: Each presentation should be 10 minutes long, and there will be 5 minutes for questions. We expect that each group member will speak during the presentation. The presentation should explain the topic you selected, the research question, and your approach to answering the question. You should make an argument based on your analysis of the sources. Finally you should include some thoughts on what future work should be done to answer your research question and other questions raised by your project.
