- The Term 1 project
will be a poster presentation.
- First, choose
a topic you are interested in and that you want to be able to explain
to someone in English.
- Everyone must
have a different topic.
- Write an outline
and collect material from books, TV, newspapers, magazines, the Internet,
etc.
- Make a poster
similar to ones I show you.
- Think about what
you will say, draw and write.
- Be able to explain
in English what you write on your poster.
- Next week bring
a B5 size sketch of your poster and a written copy of what you plan
to say.
- Next, draw your
large poster in pencil and show it to me for a final check before
you use permanent markers or paint on it.
- Go here for some examples of previous posters done by CEP students.
Possible
topics:
- Explain something,
for example, a rule or an aspect of a sport such as sumo, or something
about Japanese culture.
- An environmental
issue -- global warming, air pollution, ozone depletion, recycling,
solar energy, etc.
- How to make something,
for example, a recipe.
- Explain how to
do something, for example, diet, make stained glass, play a game,
etc.
- Explain a current
news topic.
- Any other topic
that interests you, but check with me first.
Length:
Presentations should be about 3-4 minutes.
Hints for
Designing a Poster:
- A good poster
combines graphics (graphs, flow charts, etc.), pictures or drawings
and words.
- Don't write too
much on your poster. It is not simply an essay on a big piece of paper.
- Make the details
on the poster big enough for all to see.
- Use contrasting
colours to help things stand out.
- Don't use light
colours such as yellow or orange for writing.
Paper: 110 x 80 cm. paper costs about ¥50 a sheet.
Marks: You poster will be marked on:
- the content
of the presentation,
- the visual effectiveness
of the poster and
- the fluency of
the presentation.
