Hello to all my Eigo Sogo students,

How are you? My apologies once again on getting the dates wrong on the schedule! We will meet next week (12/25) - and then not again until January 15th (1/15)!!

We have done homework on this topic of love and marriage, and have begun researching it. Now we'll go to the final part - turning our research into final presentations about marriage customs in the countries and cultures you have researched.

These presentations will be different for two reasons: 
1) As I've mentioned before, each group will make a poster presentation about the countrys' or cultures' marriage customs they chose. 
2) The presentations will be like our final exam, so there will be no final paper test in this class. We'll present these in class on our final exam day of January 15th (1/15), so this will be like our final exam.

SOME GUIDELINES
Each group will need one (1) A1-size sheet of plotter paper (プロッター用紙). As you may know, you can get this paper from the campus co-op - one sheet costs 150 yen. 

While I know many of you have been researching already, and have gathered some interesting pictures, make the pictures big - make them A4 size - or print them out again at A4 size. Have 2-3 of these pictures on your plotter paper sheets.

Here are some examples of posters for presentation. They come from a friend of mine who's a professor at Chuo University, in the law faculty. Take a look at these:


These posters come from a series of poster presentations my Chuo friend's students did in his global issues class. Their theme was immigration - both of people from other countries moving to Japan or Japanese moving to other countries. Here's another:
  
Take a look at these in detail. Make the pictures of the posters larger.
Take a look at these in detail. Make the pictures of the posters larger. This may give all of you ideas about how you can design your final presentation posters. I have a few other examples of poster presentations I can show you too.

See you in class on final presentation day - January 15th!
