電気通信大学 ASE I: Famous people in science & technology・理科、技術の有名な方

Hello! 

How are you? Today, let's look at some pictures of famous people in science and technology. Do you know who they are? 

The picture at the top is Steve Jobs. I'm sure all of you know who he is. But what other things do you know about him? 

Activity

Now how about these people? Do you know who they are? If you do - what do you know about them? 

Talk with your classmates about these people. Who are they? What do they do, or what have they done, in science and technology? What do you - or your classmates - know about them? 

NEW! Here are the board notes for our class on 4/23:

See you next time! Have a great Golden Week!

東京理科大学 A英3: Final writing assignment support post (Part 2)・期末作文のサポート (Part 2)

Hello!

How are you? Here is a second supporting post for any of you who are interested in doing a comparison and contrast (比較対照) about famous scientists for your final writing assignment project.  

Look at the picture at the top. I believe everybody recognizes him - Albert Einstein, and the famous picture of him sticking his tongue out to the photographer! But everyone also knows him to be the foremost theoretical physicist of the 20th century, whose discoveries are still the basis for modern physics.

Task preparation
Any of you who are interested in writing a comparison and contrast about famous scientists are free to choose any two scientists you know of for your project. But if you can't think of who to write about, here are four ideas for you that you can use if you like. 

Choose two (2) of these famous scientists and compare and contrast their achievements. Follow these steps when writing about them:

First, show who they are (or were), and where they did their most famous work or research. 

Next, show what their most famous achievements were - inventions, discoveries, medicines, and so on - and what impact these things had. Show details of things such as chemical properties, patents, developments of vaccines, or anything else that you can find out quickly. 

Finally, show which of their achievements you believe might have been the greater by comparison, and that you believe had the overall greater impact. 

Here are some scientists you can choose from if you need to: 

Thomas Edison

Yoshiro Nakamatsu

Jokichi Takamine

Kikunae Ikeda

I hope these can give you ideas if you need them - or help you think of your own famous scientists to profile and compare and contrast in their impact. 

Good luck! I'll look forward to reading your great writing on this theme. 

See you next week!

電気通信大学 AWE I: Identities・正体

Hello! 

How are you? Today, let's look at some pictures of famous people, and think of some ideas about their identities (正体). Do you know who they are? 

The picture at the top is Nikola Tesla. I'm sure all of you know who he is - he was an inventor and engineer, originally from Serbia, who became famous in the U.S. What other things do you know about him? 

Activity/homework

Now how about these people? Do you know who they are? If you do - what do you know about them? 

Talk with your classmates about these people. Who are they? What do they do? What do you - or your classmates - know about them? Then write some notes about what you know of them - or what you guess about their characters, or your impression of them.

See you next time!
