20-25 minutes, average 3.5-5 minutes per person
0-2 minutes... Matt introduces the topic of Arab-American writers. Angel invites students to put all of their prejudices in a box. She also has a pair of shoes on the table showing how one may have a foot in the past (or their homeland) and a foot in the present (immigrants in America).
2-4 minutes... Angel talks about where exactly the middle east is located, and the main qualifier of being an "Arab". Arab doesn't equal Muslim.
4-8 minutes... Matt introduces the project and discusses alternate modes of expression among Arab-American writers.
8-11 minutes... Lindsey talks about religion in the middle east. Muslim doesn't necessarily equal Arab.
11-14 minutes... Marisa talks about Arab immigration to America.
14-17 minutes... Spencer talks about the experiences of an Arab-American immigrant.
17-20 minutes... Casey talks about Arab-American stereotypes post 9/11. Going from invisible minority to visible terrorist.
20-22 minutes... Angel talks about the challenges an Arab-American writer faces because of prejudices.
22-25 minutes... presentation wrap-up, extra time if needed. Kelsey will serve tea, and Angel will pass out a snack.
Update- Matt is going to introduce our topic, then I will present the box. After that I will discuss the definition of Arab and do the geography. Then we go on as planned. At the end Kelsey is going to attempt to serve tea and I plan to bring an American small snack/candy/something.
