my group did Enlightenment Theory, Formalism and Structuralism. since there was only three of us we each picked a theory to talk about. i picked Structuralism. i made an outline and the subject i focused on was Semiotics and one of the founding fathers, Ferdinand de Saussure. i shared with the class one of his famous quotes, "A sign is the basic unit of language (a given language at a given time). Every language is a complete system of signs". then i showed the diagram of the sign, signified and signifier to the class.
i wrapped up my presentation by showing them a baby Einstein video for them to tell me how it relates to Structuralism.
i found it very easy to work with Katie and Ernesta, they were laid back and we all got the work done and gave input to each others presentations through email. overall i thought we did a great job together!!!
