September 26th lesson
Dear students,
Welcome back to Digital Presentation. Today is an important lesson as regards the rest of the semester, because you will have a say on what you will be doing.
There are two basic plans: either follow the teacher's plan, which may mean less preparation for you, or have student groups decide the schedule, which may mean more thinking and preparation for you, but also more control of the content. Which would you prefer?
The teacher's plan: Five of the following will be your presentation theme. The class may choose which five. Each presentation will be worth 10 points. (You will also have a mid-term, and a final presentation).
1) Communication
2) Education
3) Environment
4) Fashion and Design
5) Gender
6) Globalisation
7) Human Rights
8) Language
9) Media
10) Society
11) Technology
12) Our planet Earth
The assessment criteria will be the same as usual:
Content
The students' plan:
If you prefer, your group may choose another topic. If this is the case, your group will lead the class once per semester, and your group will be four people. Your group should plan the preparation lesson by introducing the topic, arranging the students, etc., and telling the class what they should do to prepare for the following week's speech. If you are unsure, please talk to your teacher.
Second Semester Grading
Five biweekly presentations of over three minutes per person (50 points)
One mid-term presentation (10 points)
One final presentation, 5-6 minutes in length (20 points)
Attendance (20 points)
So, today please choose the schedule for the semester.
Kind regards,
Chris Elvin
