Hello!
How are you? Above are the board notes for our classes today on 6/28.
Here are some more notes for all of you. These are reminders for all of you about what you can do.
Themes & topic reminders & notes
Click on this link here for a refresher about last week's post about the spring semester final presentations.
Note about your theme and topic choices, and choose which one is most interesting for you. Look at the each of the textbook units we have done since the mid-term presentations. We have done the one about the Industrial Revolution, a little last week about aquaculture, and a little this week on the Tenerife accident. There is one textbook unit left on the syllabus - the one about photosynthesis.
On the last page of each of these textbook units, you will see some topic ideas you could use. Any one of them could be a basis for a presentation, so if you cannot think of any ideas, you could use one of these.
While the photosynthesis unit is on next week's schedule, we do not have to do it. If it is to your interest, however, and you have a topic you want to do that connects with it, you could do it on your own - including listening to the CD tracks about it and doing the parts of it in the textbook that are most important.
The vocabulary is very important. Look at your notes about the vocabulary you have gathered up about the Industrial Revolution, aquaculture, and the Tenerife accident, as well as look ahead about photosynthesis - if it is to your interest.
As the board notes say - come to class next week with a computer or tablet (if you have one). Be ready to do some work in class.
I have noted down the dates you have said you would like to present on. Please remember that you have to be committed to those dates. If you have to change the dates - please tell me no later than next week (7/5)!
See you next week!
