December 5th lesson

Dear students, Today you will prepare for your fifth presentation, Christmas. Since you are all talking about the same topic, you should try to research and write about something slightly different from the other groups. What could you present that would be different and interesting, too? Here is a list of questions about Christmas that today's group may or may not want you to use: Christmas Questions Kind regards, Chris Elvin

November 21st lesson

Dear students, First of all, I would like to talk about last week's test. If you didn't know already, copying from the Internet is considered as an act of plagiarism and is not normally allowed in an academic setting. Even one sentence is considered too much - unless you cite your source. Changing one or two words in a sentence but keeping the structure the same is also not a good thing to do either. I hope you all know about plagiarism for future reference. Today, period 1 students will discuss society, and period 2 students will talk about ceremonies. Here is a list of questions period 1 students may want to ask each other. Please choose a topic from the list below: questions about society Kind regards, Chris Elvin

November 14th lesson

Dear students, Today is your mid-term test. You will be given a choice of three broad topics. Choose one of these topics, and narrow your focus. Then write a question as your presentation title. You should answer your question by first drawing a map, and then either drawing a storyboard of your slides with notes, or writing an essay. Kind regards, Chris Elvin

You should talk for at least three minutes per person, show at least three slides each, make sure you have much eye contact, and include an element of critical thinking in you speeches.
