Today students worked on the Oral Presentation for their Research Projects.
Homework:
1) In preparation for our peer review workshop on Monday (12/3), please produce a draft of your research paper. Bringing in a full draft of the paper will be most productive. However, at minimum, each student MUST have a draft of their full introduction, 1 body paragraph, the counterargument paragraph, and a bibliography. Print out 3 copies of your draft and bring them to Monday’s class. DO NOT BE LATE. If you are excessively late or do not bring 3 copies of your draft, you will not able to participate and will not receive credit for the day’s work.
2) Prepare the PowerPoint presentations for your Oral Presentation on your Research Project to be delivered in class during 12/5 and 12/10. A sign-up sheet will be passed around on 12/3.
Students will be called to present in the order of the sign-up sheet. You must be in class and ready to present when you are called. If you are not, you will forfeit your chance to present. You must provide me with a printout of your PPT presentation (you can print 6 slides to one page to save paper). If you do not have this printout, you will not be able to present.
Practice your presentation skills. You must speak loudly, slowly, and clearly. You can use note cards during the presentation, not a prepared speech. Eye contact and voice modulation are key. Also, don’t forget to time yourself. Your whole presentation should be delivered within 5 minutes. This will be followed by a 2-minute Q&A.
3) Study for cumulative grammar quiz to be given on Monday, 12/3.
