Hi everyone,

We sure did have a busy 90 minutes in Thursday's lesson.    I'm sure you're all relieved that our presentations are finally over.  I was very impressed the quality of your research, as well as how you were able to present your topics clearly and concisely.  

I'll have your presentation grades in next week's class.  Nobody has anything to worry about since every group passed!

Next Week's Lesson:
We will have our last lesson for the semester next week.  As usual, we'll have speed discussion, but we'll also have a few more speaking activities.  

We'll also have some time for a small party, so you can bring snacks and drinks.

Homework:

I liked group 6 whoes presentated about Balack Obama the best. There are 3 reasons why I choose them: they spoke clearly, had many eye contacts, and the poster was effective. First, they spoke clear English and I could distinguish what they spoke easliy. Second, presenters and I (audience) had many eye contacts during the presentation, and this makes me try to understand the presentation more and feel easy to ask questions. Third, they had effective posters. The poster had a lot of pictures and colors, and the key words are also helps us to understand their presentation. I hope our group also had those good presentation.

I liked group 2’s presentation about Aung San Suu Kyi. I hadn’t known much about her, but I could learn about her to hear the presentation. The most interesting section was about relationship with Japan. I could feel a sense of closeness to Aung San Suu Kyi. Also, I liked the group member’s cheerfulness. I felt that they didn’t read texts in monotones. Their presentation has a warm, welcoming feel, and it was easy for me to ask them questions. Of course, other group’s presentation was also very good.

I forgot which group it was, but I liked the presentation about Hayao Miyazaki. There are three main reasons for this. One reason is that Studio Ghibri is very famous and I knew the animation they are talking about. Therefore, the theme of presentation was familiar to me and it was fun to liseten. I learned new things and also new information from it. Second reason is that I liked the poster. There were many pictures from the movies. It was easy to see and understand. Also, it was made colorfully, so that made me want to look at the poster carefully. Last reason is that the group members were all polite. They smiled a lot and answered my questions nicely. I chose this group as the best however, I thought other groups were also good.

I like the presentation about Hayao Miyazaki the best. It was so exciting because of some pictures of his animations. Pictures appealed to our eyes. Also, they were familiar to us, so I became absorbed by that presentation. Another reason I like that presentation is that I Iove his animations. I like Kazenotanino naushika the best of all the his animations. I have comics of it and I read it many time. So, I was very happy to listen that presentation.

Looking back on some presentations, the best presentation was Miyazaki Hayao. This was because the poster was very simple and easy to understand. It made us understand the outline of him. Then, the words of the group were clear. So, the impression of the presentation was very good. Finally, they did their presentation with smiling. It made the good atmosphere. Refering to the presentation, in the latter term, we want to make good presentations.

I liked the presentation about Takashi Sakamoto the best because both presentation skills and its details were great. Almost all the group members could make good use of presentation skills which we have ever learned. They made eye contact with us and confirmed the response from us. They also used gestures and voice inflection properly and attracted our interest. In addition, details of the presentation were very interesting. Though I had been to BOOK-OFF and used its systems many times, I had never known him. In the presentation, not only his background but also his own management systems were explained step by step, so it was enough to understand him. I was surprised that he had a large practice as a businessman. This time we could hear only two presentations, so it is difficult to decide the best one. I think that all the groups did a good job.

I liked the presentation about Mr. Yamanaka the best. There are two reasons for this. First, I had already known about him, however, I didn't know what he did or how he succeeded. Therefore, I was interested in the presentation very much. Second, there were many pictures on the poster. Also, they were using many body languages. These points made it easy for me to understand their presentation well. I gained a lot of information about Mr. Yamanaka.

I heard the two groups' presentations and the both groups were great, but I liked the presentation about Hayao Miyazaki the best. I like Ghibli, so I enjoyed hearing their presentation. Their poster was made very well and I understand what they would tell us just seeing it. I didn't know about Hayao Miyazaki so well, but I understand about him and his life. They spoke clearly, so it's easy for me to understand the content of their presentation. Their explanation was very clear to me, so I also understand more about Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli. After I heard their presentation, I wanted to watch the Ghibli moveis. If I have enough time, I will watch them during my summer vacation!

I like group 5 the best. The group did a presentation about Hayao Miyazaki. There are some reasons why I chosed the group. First, the poster of group 5 was highly devised . Many pictures were pasted and some key sentences were written on it. It helped me understand about him. Second, the members of the group used the poster effectively. They pointed to the pictures or sentences with talking, so their presentation was easy to understand and to imagine.
Last, all the members were doing a presentation cheerfully and talking in a clear voice. That is why I could enjoy their presentation.

I like the presentation of group 4 the best. Their topic was about Takashi Sakamoto who is originator of BOOK OFF. I think there are three good points in their presentation. First, to choose him as a topic is good because he is seldom known for his achievements. So, I heard their presentation with interest. Second, their explanation was intelligible very in detail. Only information required for the presentation was included and it was not too long. Finally, I think their way to speak was good. They saw not only paper but also the front and were speaking to the audience. I watched two groups presentation and I want to improve my presentation skill.

I liked the presentation about “Shinya Yamanaka”. Firstly, he is the person who picked up on news that won The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He is very famous in Japan and I have much information on him, so it is easy for me to understand what they said. Secondly, their poster are easy to watch because the contents were written with the contents divided into three sections. So, I could understand what they would say easily. Therefore, I like the presentation about “Shinya Yamanaka”.

I liked presentation about Aung San Suu Kyi the best. Presenters of this group made good eye contact with us. And also they spoke in loud and clear voice. This group was not just good at these points. I thought contents of their presentation were good too. I learned much from their presentation and impressed by them. The most impressive thing which they taught to us was that Aung San Suu Kyi’s flower hair ornaments have a deep meaning. Her flower hair ornaments are symbols of resistance. Reason of this is because she and her husband presented flower hair ornaments to each other at their birthday before her husband die. From these things, I liked this group’s presentation the best, but I think other groups presentation were good too!

Of all the presentation, I liked the group which presented about Barak Obama. The most reason I loved their presentation was eye contacts. They looked in the audience's eyes which made us concentrate on their speeches. Also, their voice was very clear. It was easy to catch their words. Their choice of words were also very attractive and made us want to know more about Obama. Their enthusiasm was excellent too. From these reasons, I liked this group's presentation the best.

Both presentations I saw ware really good and its hard to rank them. But scince I am supposed to, I'd like to choose the one about Mr.Shinya Yamanaka as the best presentation.
At first I had no interest abt the topic because it is related to biology and chemistry, subjects I'm bad at. However the presentation was easy to understand, they caught my attention.Listening to them was interesting. Besides presenters answered all the questions. It showed us they did a really great preparation.

I like the presentation about Hayao Miyazaki. There are two reasons for this. One reason is a layout is so cute and easy to see. Many pictures of animations was sticked on the poster, and characters was very legible.
Second is presentators pay attention to the audience. The presentators often cast us some questions in the presentation. Therefore, I think the audience is more interested in the topic. In last class, I was nervous about the presentation. However, I am satisfied that each group did their best.

I like the presentation about Aung San Suu Kyi the best. All members researched about her very well, so I enjoyed the presentation so much! The most impressive thing that I heard is the meaning of flowers. I knew that the flowers put on her was presented from her husband. Also, I think that group members were very kind and smart. I was vary happy when I asked question and they gave an answer politely. I'm grad to know about Aung San Suu Kyi in last class. I want to see some movie or read book about her during this summer vacation.

I like the presentation about Takashi Sakamoto who is an originator of BOOK OFF. I've never known to him and how to start the business. I was surprised at him because he opened restaurants. We can eat French or Italian easily in there. I didn't know that, but now, I want to go there and enjoy French and Italian. In this presentation, all members do good eye contact and body language, so I can understand easy. Only this group use 2 posters. I can understand there are 2 big topic in this presentation at once. I think it was very good idea.
