Mind and Body 

Presentation Instructions      

How do you interpret “mind-body” interactions? Choose any topic that you think 

illustrates your interpretation and create a 5-7 minute presentation. The purpose of 

this presentation is to teach your classmates about a particular topic that you think 

illustrates the theme of this course. You can choose a topic that is listed in the 

syllabus, and find a specific example of it, or you can choose a topic that you would 

have liked to have seen discussed in class. You MUST have your topic approved by 

me. You will lose points on your presentation if you do not have your topic approved 

by me. Each student must have a presentation of 5-7 minutes, with PowerPoint 

slides (or other visual media, like Prezi, etc.).  This is the information that you must 

include in your presentation:

1. Background information on the topic (general summary).

2. How do you think the topic illustrates the “mind-body” connection? Is the topic 

more focused on the “mind” or the “body”?

3. Why did you choose this topic?

4. Something really interesting that you learned about the topic, something that 

surprised you, that you never would have thought about.
