MEDIEVAL HERESY HINTS FOR PREPARING CLASS PRESENTATIONS DO NOT TRY TO GIVE YOUR PRESENTATION USING ONLY HIGHLIGHTED PHOTOCOPIES OF THE SOURCE STUDIED! Write out your presentation or use a careful "dense" outline. Prepare the presentation as follows: When you prepare, read your assignment once to get the overall "feel" of the materials. Then read a second time, taking careful notes. You may want to photocopy the reading so that you can mark up the text. Sometimes you will have to photocopy the material from a book on reserve, do this well ahead of time. Marking up the text cannot substitute for written notes! Then assemble your presentation. Reread the material a third time. This last reading may give you new insights that you will want to incorporate into the presentation. You will probably find it easiest to give your presentation from written notes or a "dense" outline. This material is too difficult for you to "wing it." Your presentation should touch on the following points: 1a. Describe the "form" of your texts: are they treatises, chronicles, literary sources, inquisition records? What is its textual history? What do we need to know to interpret it? 1b. What are the origins of the texts? Was it written by the heretic or by an opponent? How close in time are they to the phenomena described? Are there reasons to believe that we cannot trust the source? If the source is problematic, can we learn something from it anyway? 1c. Outline the "narrative" of the text: what does it say? In some cases you may even want to prepare a written outline of it (max. 1 page) and distribute copies to the class. These first three items should prepare us to talk about the text and take no more than 5 minutes. 2a. THE BULK OF YOUR PRESENTATION should focus on developing and explaining what the texts tell us about the heresy or heretic under consideration. What did they believe? How did they support their beliefs, what was the composition of the heresy's followers, and what appeal did the heresy have? Why? How is this related phenomena related to other heresies studied? In the case of secondary sources: what is the author's thesis; is it convincing? Why or why not? 2b. In preparing item 4 you will also want to think about how this material relates to the general reading. 3. Finally, have marked or copied out any passages or quotations that will illustrate the points you want to make. You should be well enough prepared so that you can listen carefully to the other presentations, take notes on them, and reflect on how they relate to your own project, rather than being preoccupied with what you plan to say. Good luck, your classmates are depending on you for the material you will present.
