THIS WEEK: FINISHING POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS.
Remember:
Each presentation should be about 10-12 slides long. Liz will be checking them and giving you feedback so you can improve your presentation. Before you present to the class, you must "rehearse" with Liz.
THE PRESENTATIONS ARE TO WORK ON SPEAKING IN FRONT OF A GROUP. You do not have to write a lot, but you do need to organize your ideas and images to make an interesting presentation.
EACH DAY, EMAIL YOUR POWERPOINT TO YOURSELF SO YOU CAN CONTINUE WORKING ON IT THE NEXT CLASS.
Basic ideas for presentations include:
Introductory slide (Your name)
Something about the geography (where it is, weather, language, population
Something about history of area
Something about a famous person or place or food, etc.
Your favorite place or what you miss the most (Your personal memories or experience will make it memorable!)
Go to: All programs, Microsoft Office, PowerPoint Presentation. Learn by doing!! Start building, and you will learn as you go.

Listen and read more about the new kind of CPR here: Hands-Only CPR
As Mr. Homan mentioned, this will be replacing the traditional CPR in January.
ALSO, listen and REPEAT these irregular verbs: Irregular Verbs
Tonight, work on your PowerPoints -- soon we will start practicing them.
