June 5th lesson

Dear students,
Today you will study a little about conclusions. After that you will prepare for next week's second presentation on education. The assessment criteria will be the same as for presentation 1.
I would like to see your slides today. You should have one introduction slide, one conclusion slide, and one reference slide. You should also have at least one slide for each body section of your presentation. More than one is probably better than just one, which is the absolute minimum. You should also include graphs in your presentation, too.
Kind regards,
Chris Elvin

May 29th lesson

Dear students,
Today you will deliver your first presentation - Communication. You should speak for at least three minutes per person. You may use presentation software (bring a USB stick, or log on to your Rikkyo account), or you could just use sheets of paper and project them using the overhead projector (OHP).
You will be assessed on length of presentation (3 minutes or more), eye contact, topic interest (new and interesting to class), the clarity of your speaking, and the quality of your visuals.
Kind regards,
Chris Elvin

At a minimum, there should be an introduction slide, a slide for each body part, and a slide for your conclusion. You should also have a graph and a references slide to show where you got your material from.
Each person should be prepared to speak for at least three minutes.
Kind regards,

May 15th lesson

Dear students,
On May 8th, you learned about the structure of introductions, the importance of giving evidence in the body of your presentation, and how to write transitions between the topics of your speech.
Today you will practice transitions again, learn about the importance of visuals, and how to describe the details of a graphs or chart. If there is time, you will also collect data in class, draw a chart, and explain it.
Kind regards,
Chris Elvin
