Hello!
Special note: Once again, you must present on something different than what you did
before –
3. A topic of your choice
For this, see me on what you have in mind for a topic. It should be science or technology-oriented, and something that you have not done before.
You should work towards a two-sided argument within your topic choice.
Supporting links
1. Here are some video links to things that relate to the first two theme ideas above. Each one will take you directly to the TED website. With each one you can download the written transcript of the talk in either English or Japanese. (Note - the first link is a longer video than the second.)
2. Here is a link about outlining on a separate blogpage about outline (あらすじ) writing. Go to this link to see it if you wish to try writing an outline.
I hope these links can help get you going on ideas.
Good luck! See you in 2020!
Our fall final presentation topic will be your choice!
Semester themes review
Here is a review of the themes of this semester:
- Comparison & contrasting educational systems in different countries
- Japan and the future
Deadline (締め切り)
We will do these on January 28th (1/28), so you have the next 4-5 weeks to prepare these. That will seem like a long time, but we will go through topic selection and review, plus presentation practice that I will coach you on.
This process is very important, because as always, I would like to see you make the best presentations you can, so I would like to continue to guide and coach you - that is why we will take time to prepare and practice!
Here is our remaining schedule after the holiday, and what we will do in it:
1/7 - open class time for idea/topic generation, developing topic summaries
1/14 - topic summary review, open class for preparation
1/21 - open class for preparation, final presentation practice
1/28 - final presentations

Guidelines
You can choose one (1) of these themes, but with these guidelines:
1. Developing a topic comparing & contrasting quality of science education in different countries
You can focus on the quality of science education in different countries, in any area of science, with Japan as one of the countries you can focus on.
Like our two presentations we have done this semester, you must present a two-sided argument about the merits or demerits of the area of science you focus on.
Special note: If you have focused on science in your presentation on educational systems before, you must present on something different than what you did before, such as a different country for comparison or a different area of science –

2. Developing a topic about the merits and demerits of the social impact, in the past or present, of key inventions or discoveries in science & technology
You must present on something different than what you did before –
In this topic, you can take a historical view - focus on an invention or discovery in science or technology in any area of science you are interested in (chemistry, physics, math, or an applied science like engineering or technology like IT). What has been – or is becoming – the social impact of the invention or discovery?
Like our other presentations we have done this semester, you must present a two-sided argument about the topic, and what you would

The Japanese subtitling on the videos that have them may still not be exact for the topic,
but it generally is better than on most YouTube videos. In the same way, the Japanese transcripts may not be exact, but generally give you good guides that you can follow for a topic if you need them.
