To begin thinking about your individual class webzine for the final project, please prepare an approximately ten minute presentation on two things you are deeply passionate about. The two things should be as different from each other as possible. Also, we as a class shouldn't necessarily easily guess these two things based on what we know about you already. Like a phoenix, your webzine will be born from the ashes of this presentation...
