Important note on Conclusions for Presentation

Hello students! I've been really emphasizing this in class, but I just wanted to be sure you understand what the ultimate goal is with these presentations:

Your topics, in one way or another, are connected to this theme of outsiders, people who are alienated or feel like strangers or outcasts. Outsiders can be alienated from society (societal outsiders), from a smaller social group (like school or families) or culture, or even from themselves (identity crisis! Who am I? Who am I supposed to be?) OR  a COMBINATION!

Therefore, your conclusions MUST address how your topic tells us a specific idea (what's fascinating, unique, strange, depressing, universal, challenging, etc.) about outsiders and their experiences in life.
