The length of the talks varies and of course the topics are different, so choose one you are interested in. Many of the talks have English and/or Japanese language texts to accompany them to help you understand them better.
Choose your talk by July 18 and let me know so there is only one person making the talk you chose.
#8 and #19 are not available.
Your tasks:
1. Notetaking Watch the lecture and make notes in English, in the same way that you did for the lectures in Chapters 1 and 2. Use all of the note taking skills you have learned so far, in addition to the ones you already know. Prepare this to hand in.
2. Presentation Use your notes to prepare a PPT presentation in which you tell us the key points of the lecture, perhaps give an example if relevant, and give your impression of the lecture (both the content and the presentation style). Plan to speak for 5-10 minutes including questions from the class. Use all the presentation skills you have learned so far to help you make a successful presentation.
Begin by telling us the background of the talk - when it took place,who the speaker is, what the title is, and how many people have watched it so far.
Presentations will take place on September 19 and your lecture notes will be due that day too.
Today's lecture is by David Gallow and is called "Underwater Astonishments." What do you think this lecture will be about? Let's watch and find out. Take notes as you watch, though most of the lecture is made up of short video clips.
This 5.5 minute lecture is from 2007, and since then, nearly 11 million people have watched it.
Why do you think it has been so popular?
FYI, there are subtitles available in 42 languages so non English speakers from around the world can access it.
