The Details
Research the biography and theory of the influential theater teacher assigned to you. Compare his or her acting ideas to those of Stanislavski. You need at least 2 reliable, scholarly sources (no Wikipedia please). Use MLA format for sources on works consulted slide. Please include them in your presentation. Tone for your presentation should be serious (you're instructing, not entertaining).
Present your research in a slideshow. It should include at least 6 slides: 1) title page, 2) early life, 3) education & training, 4) experience as teacher, 5) comparison to Stanislavski’s technique, 6) at least 3 quotes from your theater teacher/director , 7) works consulted (MLA format for sources). Make sure your presentation is clear and creative (but not juvenile nor absurd).
