One of your biography readings will result in a class presentation. I will be extremely flexible on your presentation method. However you want to explain the book and person is fine with me. You might consider a:
-PowerPoint
-poster
-talk or lecture
-or other innovative technique
I expect you to tell the class about the person as well as the book itself. Don't just come in with a bunch of facts from Wikipedia. How you do this is up to you--but I have to be convinced that you read the entire book. That might mean some discussion of the author, or the sources, or the author's interpretations. You will have to work on this aspect of your presentation.
