Freshman Reading 1B: Fall semester mid-term presentations・後学期中間プレゼンテーション

Hello!

How are you? Here is the guidelines and deadline for our fall semester mid-term presentations. 

While I have given all of you the handout about this assignment, I am posting about it here also as another way to help all of you know what you can do. 

You will present about the book you chose, and have been reading. 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 closing slide
• It has to be colorful and interesting to look at

Deadline (締め切り)

Let's try to do these presentations on November 21st (11/21). Come in with your work and rough outlines (あらすじ ), as I showed you about in class, and let's see where we are then.  We'll do a practice speaking with these outlines, then do the real presentations then. 

If we are not completely ready, we will have to do these on December 5th. (Please remember that there will be no classes on November 28th.) 

Next week (11/7), please show me what you are presenting about 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 11/14! 

Good luck! I look forward to our presentation day! 

See you next week!
