With your seminar team, develop and deliver a 5–7 minute presentation that synthesizes what you have discovered about living a life-well lived through reading and discussion. Design an evocative experience for your audience that pulls together the meaningful texts, stories, images, and metaphors you have encountered in the unit.

In your presentation, be sure to do the following:

• Organize your presentation in a logical way.

• Use storytelling, visual imagery, and metaphors to communicate the story of what your seminar team now understands about living a life well-lived.

• Use language and communication strategies to engage your audience.

• Respond to questions from your audience respectfully and knowledgeably.

Your presentation might use one of the following strategies to highlight and communicate your discoveries about living a life well-lived:

• a multimedia presentation that highlights stories, ideas, and imagery from the texts you have examined and the discoveries you have made personally and collectively

• a photo essay or short film related to stories, ideas, and imagery from the texts you have examined and the discoveries you have made personally and collectively

• A series of linked personal stories that illustrate discoveries you have made personally and collectively

• a TED Talk-style presentation in which your group discusses one or more potential life compasses you have identified and engages the audience with a mix of spoken word and visual aids

• a Google site that organizes your discoveries into multiple pages, including a mixture of storytelling, textual interpretations, and visual representations

• a mind map that illustrates connections among the various texts, ideas, human qualities, and experiences that you have identified as potential life compasses

• another student-designed and teacher-approved product
