On your presentation day, you will tell the class about this place or person and your relationship to it or them. You can take a few written notes in case you forget something. However, no reading. Also, please, do not recite a memorized speech.

You can practice at home. Time yourself.

 

Here are some possible topics to focus on:

Where the place is

When you went there

Who you went with

What the scenery was like

What there was to do there

What your memories are of the place

 

                     Who the person is

Where you knew them

What you did together

What you like about them

What your memories are of the person

 

Right now, think about what person or place you want to tell us about.

 

ACTION

Step 1- Choose the place or person that you would like to talk about. Email the name of the place or person to me by tonight 7PM. ahaley@vsb.bc.ca  (1pt)

Remember to put your full name and class in the subject lines of all emails to teachers.

 

Step 2- Sign up for a presentation time.

 

Step 3- Begin to brainstorm ideas. Then begin to write.* (some class time)

 

*You could get ChatGPT to write this for you in .003 seconds. Hopefully, you will take this as an opportunity to do some organization, planning, and writing on your own. Of course, the usual VSB and SHEC policies regarding plagiarism and academic honesty apply. If I see that your work is plagiarized or translated, or AI- generated. it will get a 0 and a letter in your file.ope

I know what your writing looks like.

 

 

 

 

 

This will be a nice challenge, writing and speaking to the class.

Some people like to show some photos. You can use your laptop or phone.
