Large Frames Explanation - Every project must embrace more than one discipline in its composition. This is your chance to make explicit in the form of a presentation to the class how your final project derives from more than one area of academic study. Explain how your final project connects to issues in a larger fame. This frame may be industrial and therefore the student will explain how the final project fits in and also alters the current state of the industry in which the project participates. (For example: how does your planned business offer something new to the industry? Is it the product? Is it the method of distribution? For example: How does your social media campaign use existing but also innovative strategies to inform and persuade your audience? For example: What are the ethical concerns raised by your invention?)

The "Larger Frames" presentation explores the way your final project fits within at least one larger framework: political, economic, social, cultural, industrial. Though the final project may build implicitly rather than explicitly on this relationship to larger issues and themes, the presentation makes these connections directly.

Part 1: Presentation time: 5 mins.

Visual component required (powerpoint with voice recording or video format)

Your presentation must:

• Identify frame(s) you've selected through which to view your final project
• Describe the frame's status quo as it relates to your topic
• Pinpoint the specific point of contact or connection between the frame's status quo and your project
• Argue how your final project intervenes, changes, "pushes back" or makes a difference to that frame's status quo
