Hello!
How are you? Today I will show you about our first (1st) presentations for this class.
Topics
Topics
Here are your choice of topics. You can choose one (1) of these:
• Problems and issues of international relations
• Issues and solutions about the environment
• Facts and other interesting things about space or our solar system
Deadline (締め切り)
Your presentation day will be on June 10th (6/10), so you have three (3) weeks to prepare them. Please be ready on the day to present.
Guidelines
1. Prepare a rough draft of a summary (要約) about the topic you want to present on. The summary will be due next week (5/27).
The summary should have a short introduction showing the topic and any issues or problems, or interesting points about it. Then you should show what you will then present on with these issues, problems, or points are. It should be short, and indicate (指し示して) what aspect of the topic (話題の向き) you will present on. Here is an example:
例えば：While the Earth has the volume of water to sustain life, researchers believe that traces of water exist on the other planets of the Solar System. This presentation will look at the planets in our Solar System that are likely to have water, and if so, what kinds of life they may be able to sustain.

2. You will see a topic preparation sheet that comes with the handout. You do not have to use this sheet if you feel it is not useful for you - but you may find it useful as a working record of your preparation about your topic. It could help you to organize ideas and steps for your presentation preparation.
*You will also see a student evaluation sheet, with a space at the top to write the final draft of your summary. You will not evaluate your own presentation! Instead, all of you will be in groups, and present to each other in groups. You will mark your classmates' presentations in your groups, and they will mark your presentation.
After we are finished with the presentations, you will hand in the evaluation sheet with your final summary to me.

3. Be ready for me to review your progress next week (5/27). I will let you work on your presentations in-class. On 6/3, we will practice our presentations in-class. You can practice with me and/or other groups of students.
* This is very important! You don't have to have the presentation 100% finished on 5/27 - but you have to have enough content so you can work more on it to the finish and be ready to practice on 6/3!
