<WRAP center round tip 80%>
<wrap em>For theses AND/OR presentations, remember to connect with the issue of value: good/bad.</wrap> Options? 

Your group presentation should have a focus / coherence, almost like a thesis. It SHOULD NOT come off as a sequence of general summaries ("Next we read ... X").  **Discuss this purpose and focus first. Then choose texts as examples. And only then worry about building the slide show.**

In our first week of class, we talked about Barbara Herrnstein Smith's framework (value is produced through evaluation, based on tacit assumptions and asserted in a way that has salience depending upon, x, y, and z.  Consider revisiting this reading and our application to Instapoetry [[http://kennethsherwood.com/hnrc101-fa2022/doku.php?id=weeksb:week8|link]]. 

Eagleton suggests "good" literature is complicated by time period / ideology.  What a Romantic might value would not satisfy a Modernist, etc. 

Cage and Duchamp theorize and demonstrate how certain works can themselves challenge and maybe change the very criteria of evaluation in their spheres. What about e-lit? Is the e-lit you explored similarly experimental?  

Perhaps the only "bad" answer to questions around value is saying: "it's all subjective" -- a conclusion that really says nothing.
