Hello!
* You will also see, on the other side of the sheet, a classmates' presentation evaluation form, with a space at the top for you to write your final version of the summary.
This part of the form you will hand in to me. On it, you write your summary - but then you mark your classmates' presentations.
Good luck! See you next time!
How are you? Today I will show you about our mid-term (中間) presentations, with information about summary writing (要約を書いて).
First, let's look at the mid-term presentation assignment.
Topics
First, let's look at the mid-term presentation assignment.
Topics
Here are your choice of topics. They're based on what we've done so far in class. You can choose one (1) of these:
• Issues and solutions about the environment
• Facts and other interesting things about our solar system or space
Deadlines (締め切り)
Your presentation day will be on May 31st (5/31), so you have three (3) week(s) to prepare them. Please be ready on the day to present.
Guidelines
1. Prepare a rough draft (下書き) of a summary about the topic you want to present on. The summary will be due next week (5/17).
About summaries
Now let's look at summary writing.
What is a summary? It's a short statement of purpose (SOP) about your presentation topic. It should begin with a short introduction showing the topic and any issues, problems, or a situation, and the interesting or important points about it. Then you should show that you will then present about what these issue, problem, situation, and the points about it are.
It should be short, and indicate (指し示して) what aspect of the topic (話題の向き) you will present on. Here is an example of what a summary should look like, with the number of words after it:
例えば：While the Earth has the volume of water to support life, researchers believe that some form of water, such as water vapor, exists on some of the other planets of the Solar System. This presentation will look at the planets in our Solar System that are likely to have water, and what kinds of life they may be able to support. (61 words)
2. You have the choice to fill in the topic preparation sheet that comes with the handout. You do not have to use it if you don't want to - but you may find it very useful. This is a working record of your preparation about your topic.

3. Be ready for me to review your progress next week and for you to practice your presentation in-class. You can practice with me and/or other group of students.
4. Finalize your presentation outside of class and be ready to present on the day of your class!
Good luck! See you next time!
