your reasons for pursuing the topic,
specific decisions and/or  challenges  you encountered in the course of researching your subject
Decisions you had to make in preparing your presentation – the sequence of slides, the timing, etc.
A reflection on what you have gained or learned from the work you have done, including the presentation itself. 
    Appended to your writeup must be
a fully identified  list of the images in your presentation, with thumbnails  (not included in page count)
a fully documented source list. (not included in page count)
Due 11:59 pm on presentation date

* this is a guideline based on the alloted time.  If you present a montage of images, or even a little film, you may be able to use more than ten.
