Freshman English Reading A: Spring semester final presentations・前期期末プレゼンテーション

Hello!

How are you? Here are the guidelines and deadline for our spring semester final presentations (前期期末プレゼンテーション). 

Because we will not be here next week (6/26), I will show you this project now. 

The guidelines are the same as for the mid-term (中間) presentations. Like before, you will choose a different book from the library, read it, and present about it. 

But this time, you will go to the library on your own. This is a very important point! When we meet again - have a book to show me!

Please have these points in your presentation:

• A summary (要約) about the story - what is it about?
• The main character(s) of the book
• The qualities (質) or characteristics (性状) of the main character(s)
• The most interesting or exciting situation or event in the story
• The character you liked the most - and what qualities he or she had 

Guidelines

For this presentation, you can design a small poster or make a Power Point show. 

If you design a poster, I would like you to follow these guidelines:

• It has to be on A3 size paper
• You have to have 4-5 pictures on it (hand-drawn or photos, or a mix)
• It has to be colorful and interesting to look at

If you make a Power Point show, I would like you to follow these guidelines: 

You have to have a title slide - then 5-7 slides with pictures and text on it - then a concluding slide.

It has to be colorful and interesting to look at. 

Deadline (締め切り)

We will do these presentations on July 17th (7/17), so you have more than four (3) weeks to work on these.

In our next class (7/3), please show me what you are reading and will present on and we will make some time to do some work in class on the presentations. I would like to see your work and give you some advice on what you can do to make the best presentations you can. Please be ready to present on 7/17! 

Now here are the board notes for our class on 6/19:

Good luck! I look forward to our presentation day!
