Need help!!!

[Natasha5]

I have to present on a thematic topic found in the book One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kessey and The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Some common themes that I found in both books were confomism, society vs individual and insanity. The presentation has to be 20-30 mins long and a media element has to be a large part of it but not all of it. Also the audience has to be involved and discussion should be a large part of it. So the presentation has to be creative very creative and I cant think of any ideas. First of all what theme should I coose? How should I present it in a manner that would involve the audience? Please help..I'm on a deadline!!

who are you presenting to?

I'm presenting to 17-18 year olds. I think I'm going to focus on the theme of conformity. How can I present this in a creative manner? one idea I had was to do a social experiment like the line test...but I don't know what else to do?

you can draw comparison to non conformists, and how we as a group conform even subconciously (get one of your colleagues to clap to see what I mean). Going off on a tangent a little, there is a Larry Ellison graduation speech to Yale where he is completely inappropriate and non-conforming (it didnt actually happen but is a great example of a leader non conforming to the rules of society) if you cant find it drop me an email
