Hi everyone,
We're finished with presentations!! For our last two classes of the semester, we'll have some "fun" classes, so make sure to come. Presentations: We finished with our second group of presentations in today's lesson. Overall, I was really happy to see a big improvement in eye contact and gestures this week. Also, presenters knew their information well, and didn't need to use their notes very often. Great work! 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?" Grade for Semester 1: By the end of our course, I will have your semester 1 grade calculated. If you would like to know your grade, please email me and I'll send it to you.

Discussion Leading & Worksheets (2) 40% b. Blog Postings (12) 25% c. Group Presentation 25% d. Speed Discussion 10% Homework: 1. Blog Comment #11 Blog Question #11: 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?

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:
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?
