英語表現演習2 (金 2・3限): Mid-term short presentations・中間ショートプレゼンテーション

Hello!

How are you? Here are the topics, deadline, & guidelines for our mid-term presentations. 

Before we start, here are the board notes for our classes on 10/18 and 10/11: 

Now let's look at the mid-term presentation assignment!

Deadlines (締め切り)

You will prepare a 3-4 minute presentation that you will do on November 15th (11/15), so you have four (4) weeks to prepare them. Please be ready on the day to present.

For your presentations, you have a choice of using Power Point or KeyNote, or making a small poster. 

Themes (テーマ)

Here are your choice of themes. They're based on what we've done, and are doing, so far from the textbook in class. You can choose one (1) of these: 

• Issues and solutions about the environment (based on Unit 2 - the environment)
• Facts and other interesting things about our solar system or space (Unit 3 - space)

Steps & guidelines

Here is the process of the steps and guidelines for how we will do these presentations.

1. Summaries (要約) 

After you see this blogpost, you should choose a topic from the themes above. Then, start writing a short summary about the topic you want to present on in your notebooks. The summary will be due on October 25th (10/25). 

Very important! Your summary should have these points about it: 

• A short background about the topic
• What focus or viewpoint you will present about

Be ready for me to review your summary on 10/25. I will then show you some more about summaries in-class.  

2. Outlines (あらすじ)
On 10/25 after showing you a little more about summaries, I will also have a handout about outlines. You will do some activities with outlines in-class, then begin working on your presentation outlines. 

We may have time in-class to start working on our presentations - so having your summary ready on 10/25 will be very important! 

3. Practice 
On November 8th (11/8), I will show you some more guidelines about presenting. We will then make some time to practice our presentations in-class. You can practice with me and/or other group of students. 

4. Finishing presentations
After 11/8, you will finalize your presentations outside of class and be ready to present on 11/15!

Good luck with these! I’ll look forward to working with you on your presentation skills, and seeing your great presentations.

See you next week!
