So we will not meet this coming Saturday (May 5). Graeme's class has some words to study for the next class on May 12 - click HERE to practice them.
For my class, I asked each of you to finish writing the introduction to your presentation. I promised I'd give a little model here, and I will do that soon.
HELLO! It's later now (May 10). I promised to give you a model for an introduction to your presentation. I guess I'm a little late, but here it is. Imagine that my topic is hiking. (It's an activity I really like!)
---------------------------------------------------------------
First give a greeting:
Hello everyone, I'm Christie.
And then you should ask a question, tell a joke, or hit the audience with a weird or very interesting fact about your topic:
(I'll start with a joke...)
So, did you hear about the group of hikers who were being led through the wilderness by a guide? Well, on the third day, the hikers noticed that they were traveling in circles! "We're lost!" one of the hikers complained. "And you said you were the best guide in the United States!" "I am," the guide answered, "but I think we have wandered into Canada."
(ha ha ha ha ha ha!!)
After everyone is finished laughing, I'll introduce my topic...
Well, as long as you are careful not to get lost, hiking can be a great way to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors at the same time.
Now I'll give a little preview of my presentation:
Today I'd like to tell you a little about the history of hiking. Then I'll explain some of the basic equipment you need to start hiking. Finally, I'll tell you about a couple of hiking trails near Fukuoka that you might be interested in trying out.
----------------------------------------------------------
Here's a simple outline for you to follow:
1. Greeting
2. Ask a question, tell a joke, or tell the audience a weird or interesting fact about your topic
3. Introduce your topic
4 Give a little preview of your presentation
Ok? I'm looking forward to hearing what you come up with!
