Oral English 2: Lesson 12

6/30/2015

20 Comments

 
Hi everyone,

We're heading into the home stretch (the "home stretch" is the area between third base and home plate in baseball". This idiom means that you are almost finished something. In this case, we are almost finished out course.

Presentations:

We finished our first group of presentations today. I was really impressed with your presentation skills, especially since you didn't do presentations in Oral English 1.

Overall, everyone made a good effort to make eye contact with the audience, use gestures and presentation language correctly. I was happy to see that many presenters used expressions that they had learned from our discussions: "Let's move onto..." and "Are you following me?"

For next week's presenters, it's really important that you speak loud enough. When you speak loud enough, it shows that you are confident about your topic.

Presentations Reminders:
We start our presentations in next week's lesson. Please remember these points:
  1. Groups 4, 5 and 6: arrive at 8:50am to prepare and set-up your poster.
  2. You can't read your notes. You can use them to help you remember.
  3. Before your presentation, please give me your corrected outline.
  4. Audience members:  arrive on time!

Homework:
1. Blog Comment #10
2. Presentation Preparation


Blog Question #10:

Choose one question to answer.

Question for today's presenters:
How did you feel about your presentation? What did you do well? What do you have to improve?

Question for today's audience:
Which presentation did you like the best? Why?

  • Write 8-10 sentences.
  • Use capitalization, punctuation & spelling correctly.
  • Submit by Wednesday, July 1 by 6:00pm
