staging and production conventions, if applicable

Unlike other assignments in this course, the project is not necessarily a normal written essay (though an enhanced written research project would be acceptable). Think originality and creativity...that is, graphics, charts, images/videos, Powerpoint/Prezi programs, audio or visual presentations, etc. are all accepted and encouraged. If created in Word, 5-6 pages is recommended; if created in Powerpoint/Prezi, 14-15 panels is suggested.
