As you (should) know, this Saturday is our final class. For most of the class we'll be doing presentations, so please be prepared with those. Remember that they'll count for your final grade. That also means that we'll have to be efficient, since I've got to give you all your final grades after your presentations.
The other thing I need you to do before our final class is to make sure that your blog is complete. Remember that it'll count towards your grade, as we discussed in class. This week will be your last chance to add any more information, posts, or comments on your partners' blogs that you didn't get done before.
Your final blog homework is this:
Write a paragraph or two responding to one of the following prompts:
1. What will your life be like 10 or 15 years into the future?
2. What sorts of advances will be made in medicine and healthcare in the future?
3. How will education and/or business change in the future?
4. What do you think life in Costa Rica will be like in 20 years? Will things be better or worse, and why?
Regardless of the topic you choose, please make sure your answer is complete with good thoughts, explanation, and carefully-checked grammar and mechanics. Your homework assignment was pages 50 and 51 in the textbook, and those pages contain good phrases and vocabulary that can help you out with your blog.
Remember, I need to review and grade your blogs this before class on Saturday, so the deadline for this and any other blog-related items will be this Friday at noon. If you have any questions or problems, please comment or email me as soon as possible.
Have a great week, and see you on Saturday!
Teacher, help me.. What can I talk about on my presentation? Of whatever? =/
ReplyDeleteCheck out your classmates' blogs (since coming up with your presentation topic was SUPPOSED to be a homework assignment from a few weeks ago). Maybe that will help inspire you. Remember the general guidelines:
ReplyDeleteRemember that you'll have a final presentation in week 8 (and as I mentioned in class, we may actually start in week 7 if necessary). That's still a few weeks away because of the Easter holiday, but I still want you to start thinking of your presentation topic. By next week, I want you to post on your blog (or email me) the following information:
-Your presentation topic, and whether you'll work alone or in a group
-How you'll be presenting the topic (what activities or techniques will you use?)
-What you'll do to involve classmate participation
-Any resources you'll need
As we mentioned in class, your final presentation will be in a different format than your midterm presentation. The final will have to be more like a training session or an interactive demonstration. You must involve your classmates in some way; try to get them up and moving, and doing something. We brainstormed quite a few presentation ideas in class but if you're having trouble coming up with a good one, tell me.

ReplyDeleteJuan Miguel,
ReplyDeleteThat presentation topic sounds good, keeping in mind that it must be interactive.
In terms of comments, you need to comment on your group members' blogs, as mentioned in each assignment. If you've done that, you should be OK.
See you tomorrow,
Ryan
