Writing it down here lest I forget.

1. Rhetoric is important, talk about it and go more in-depth. Ethos, pathos, logos and kairos.

2. Expressions, LEARN THEM. The two-step hypothesis and the diffusion theory are extremely important for the work I do, but there are others as well.

3. Keep going with ideas that sound fucking stupid at the beginning and merely outlandish and morally dubious when they’re fleshed out, because if I can defend them well, I always get good grades (ex. making an election campaign for the Labour Party by using Soviet propaganda imagery; drafting a designer bottled carbonated water named Sparkling Stalin that has flavours based on historically important Soviet characters [Marx Mango, Lenin Lemon, etc.]).

3.5. I don’t care, winging it works, because it seems natural to the teachers. Notes/keywords are immensely important, though too many make the presentation seem stilted. If I don’t have something the audience can look at (i.e. my media product), then use a simple PowerPoint/Keynote.
