Freshman English Reading A: Greetings gestures・挨拶のジェスチャー

Hello!

How are you? Today, let's look at greetings (挨拶) in a different way - gestures for greetings.

Look at the picture above. It shows some different greetings that people say in different languages. But how do people show what they feel when they meet people for the first time?

Activity

Look at these pictures below. They show different gestures for greetings in different cultures. Look at these and talk about what people in which cultures would do when greeting people.

例：This first one is easy! This is what people in Japan would do.

Now try these! What countries or cultures would people make these greetings gestures in? Quiz each other on these!

Have fun guessing with these! See you next time!

Reading English 1A: Spring semester final presentations・前期期末プレゼンテーション

Hello!

How are you! Today here is the post about our final presentations.

While I have already given all of you the handout about the final presentations, I will post it here as well as another way to help remind you about what you can do for this project.

Look at the picture above. It's an example of one of the topics you can present about from our reading on "A City Without Oil." The picture is a model of an energy-efficient house - a house where all the power used comes from renewable energy sources. (In Japanese, energy efficiency is エネルギー効率).

Here are all the topics, deadline, and guidelines for our spring semester mid-term presentations.

Topics

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

Greetings customs and gestures from another country
Designs of houses for energy efficiency
A Nasreddin story

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
Bring your own computer!

Deadline (締め切り）

We will do these presentations on July 18th (7/18), so you have three (3) weeks to work on these.

Next week (7/4), 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 7/18!

Good luck! I look forward to our presentation day!
