Details for January 13 presentations

Length: 10 minutes maximum, including Q&A
Format: See below for guidelines on the format
You will be graded on the content of your presentation and your presentation style.
You can use a powerpoint but it is not required. If you do not use a powerpoint and would like to write on the whiteboard, please do so. However, do not spend a lot of time writing or drawing. 

Format
Powerpoint presentation (optional): Slides don't need to be elaborate (fancy). Save time and keep them simple, but they must be in correct English with proper spelling and grammar. 4 slides are recommended. Consider them as "talking points" that guide your presentation for both you and the class:
Slide #1: title page
Slide #2: introduction and outline - tell us your topic and your research focus, what you did in your research and how you did it.
Slide #3: one or two important things you found out from the research
Slide #4: conclusion - what you learned from this research

Technical points for your slides if you decide to use Powerpoint:
1. suitable sized font - 24 point minimum?
2. keep text to a minimum - too much text on the slide is NG. Points or single words only (no full sentences). Max 3 or 4 lines?
3. check English - spelling and grammar - this is a MUST

Bottom line - it is very important to practise your presentation. Keep that in mind as January 13 approaches. Get in touch with Ms. MacGregor if you have any questions or would just like to confirm or check something. 

Unit 13: Communication (p. 111)

Of the many ways to communicate electronically, which ones do you use and what do you use them for and how often?

I would answer as follows:

Electronic media: 

• Email: work correspondence, communicating with friends and family - daily
• Internet: Google searches, newspaper articles, and online radio - daily: Kindle books - occasionally; Skype - rarely; Youtube for music and "how to" videos - frequently; to communicate with students - frequently
• Text: family - daily
• SNS: I have memberships to facebook and LinkedIn, but use only when necessary.
• TV: news, weather - daily; documentaries and movies - occasionally
• Radio: amusement, weather, and to know the time - daily
• Telephone: contact shops, contact workplace - frequently; friends - occasionally; family - frequently

Other media

• Postal letter: friends and family - occasionally; friends and acquaintances - seasonally
• Newspaper: daily
