Guidelines
For Listening & Speaking:
For Listening & Speaking:
1. Prepare a summary (要約) about the topic you want to present on. The summary will be due for check on December 16th (12/16).
As we did before with the mid-term presentations, you will evaluate your classmates' presentations in groups.
2. Be ready for me to review your progress on 12/16 and for you to practice your presentation 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 - but you have to have enough content so you can practice!
3. Finalize your presentation outside of class and be ready to present on December 23rd!
For Writing & Composition:
Have a rough draft ready to read aloud to your classmates next week on December 9th (12/9). I will give you time in class to work on it - but it must be finished and handed in on December 16th (12/16).
* This is very important! I will immediately show you the final presentation assignment on 12/16 - so you need to have writing assignment 5 finished and handed in so you can start on the final writing assignment!
Now here are the board notes for our classes on 12/2. The first set of notes are for Listening & Speaking 1b:
