Description
Demonstration and performance, accepted aspects of classroom practice, can make academic conference presentations more memorable. Examples of performative practice include an enacted battle in KnT, created costumes illustrating the Wife of Bath's dress in GP and Grisilda's dress in ClT, two models of the shot-window in MilT (photographs included), and a debate on the anatomical location of Absolon's kiss.
