Hello!
How are you? Today I will introduce our second (2nd) presentation topic - key inventions or discoveries in science and technology.
See the picture above. It's a section of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. The discovery of DNA is one of the great breakthroughs of science in the 20th century.
While I have given all of you the handout about the presentation, I am posting it on here as well as another way to help remind all of you about what you can prepare for this topic.

Topic approach
I would like you to approach your presentation preparation in one of two ways. Choose one (1) way:
1. Select one (1) invention or discovery in a similar area of science or technology, either that was accidental or deliberate – for example, in mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry or IT – and present a one-sided argument about the merits (or demerits) of the invention or discovery.
2. For a greater challenge - select two (2) similar inventions or discoveries in a similar area of science or technology, either that were accidental or deliberate – and compare and contrast the two inventions or discoveries.

Then – present a one-sided argument for which invention or discovery you believe overall was the more successful, or has had the greater impact in the world - in its merits (or demerits).
Deadline (締め切り)
We will do these on June 12th (6/12), so you have two (2) weeks to prepare.
Guidelines
1. If you would like to do Power Point you are free to do so - but you must bring your own device (computer or tablet). Let me know if you want to do a Power Point show.
2. As for posters, A3 size is good, though if you would like to go a little larger, that is okay. But show a section on your poster where you would write a summary (要約) of your topic.
Good luck! See you next time!
