英語表現演習e (金 5限): Final presentations・期末発表

Hello! 

How are you? Here are the topics, deadline, & guidelines for our final presentations.

Before we start, here are the board notes from our class today on 6/28:

Now here are the board notes from our class last week on 6/21: 

Now let's look at the final presentation assignment!

Themes & topics　

Here are your choice of themes & topics. They're based on what we've done so far in class since our mid-term presentations. You can choose one (1) of these: 

• A currency from another country or alternatives to money (such as credit, debit, or cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin) 
• Survival skills in travel or difficult situations
• A work of art such as a painting, sculpture, woodblock print, or such (with a little background about the artist, the artist's country or culture, and the feeling you get from the artist's work) 

Deadlines (締め切り)

Your presentations will be on two (2) dates - July 12th (7/12) and July 19th (7/19), so you have 3-4 weeks to prepare them. Half the class will present on 7/12, while the other half of the class will present on 7/19. 

Important note:
You can select which day you want to present on - but once you choose your date, you are committed to that date. Please be ready on your day to present.

Guidelines

1. As we did before with the mid-term presentations, prepare a rough draft (下書き) of a summary (要約) about the topic you want to present on. The summary rough draft will be due next week (来週).

2. Be ready for me to review your progress next week. As we also did before, I will require that you practice your presentation in-class. You can practice with me and/or other group of students.

3. Finalize your presentation outside of class and be ready to present on the day of your class!

Good luck with these! I’ll look forward to seeing your great presentations!

Bring a computer or tablet to class if you have one. The class on 7/5 will be an open class time where you can prepare your presentation and try out a short practice.

See you next week!
