Freshman Reading 1B: Fall semester final presentations・後期期末 プレゼンテーション

Hello!

How are you? Here are the topics, deadline, and guidelines for our fall semester mid-term presentations (後期期末 プレゼンテーション).

Look at the picture above. It's of me in front of a statue of Ho Chi Minh in Hue, Vietnam in 2016. The place was the high school he graduated from when he was young. This is an example of one of the topics you could review - about travel in another country.

Topics

You have a choice of topics to present on. Choose one (1) of these: 

• How to travel in another country cheaply
• A person you admire (such as a parent or other family member, a teacher, or a famous person such as a singer, actor, writer, or a historical figure)
• A cultural tradition or unique cultural heritage site in another country 

Guidelines

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

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
• Bring your own computer!

Deadline (締め切り)

We will do these presentations on January 16th (1/16), so you have three (3) weeks to work on these.

Next week (12/19), please have a topic idea to show me 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 on 1/16! 

Good luck! I look forward to our presentation day!

See you next time!
