PRESENTATIONS

Hi guys!!!!!!!!

The presentation activity is a 3 to 3.30 minute Career-related presentation.

Attached, you will find the rubric and evaluation sheets.

Please note, there is a mark for timing so the range is 2.45 - 3.45 mins to get top marks for timing.

1. You are NOT allowed to read. You can use notes but you should only glance at them from time to time.

2. Students who read their presentations will be marked normally but their mark will be divided in two (e.g. highest mark for readers = 3.5). Please CONSIDER this (sorry for shouting).

4. The same criteria will be applied in the case of slide shows full of text. A slide should only contain key words & figures (data) to support the talk but not long pieces of text.. 

 

Please get back to me if you have any queries.

Remember, at this level students naturally make many mistakes but should be able to get their message across.

This accounts for 20% of the students' final mark.

Themed Post 1: My Favourite Recipe for Cooking on my Own.

Good day Everybody!, I hope you are enjoying the new season!

Autumn is a really pleasant time in the year, don't you think? ...Anyway, today's topic is...wel yah!...FREE!

Though...we have selected the following topic (min. 160 words, post three classmates) :

My Favourite Recipe for Cooking on my Own.

I have lived on my own for some good years so far and in most cases, catering, has been a daily issue to think over...specially when mom's not around!

I have always been related to the kitchen; my mum, as a child, would always say every person should know how to cook at least the minimum so as to survive in a good way. Considering also that I grew up in a time when big supermarket chains did not exist, a time when imported and/or processed food did not arrive and a time when cazuelas, humitas, porotos and several other, quite elaborate recipes, therefore....if you didn't cook, you couldn't eat.

Having grown around people cooking everywhere, it became natural to learn cooking methods, IO learnt the ways of chopping onion, how to cook it for different purposes, I also learnt about timing..well, I learnt this only after a time I bought a meat and cooked it on the grill but iy wasn't meant for it, but it was for cooking stews!!!

Anyway, nowadays, I live on my own, I have a demanding job (test to make, correct, handouts, bla bla bla) so with this lack of time and the need of eating healthy food, I like cooking my mom's sunday recipe:

Tuna Salad:

I open a Tuna can, I chop and wash lettuce (any kind, though I prefer iceberg lettuce), I chop onion and let it sit with salt for about 5-10 minutes, then it becomes softer. I wash it and get rid of the strength of its flavour and the salt. I mix everything in a big pot...To dress it, I add lemon juice, canola oil (or any oil), some good mayonaise and salt. Then, I eat it and go to work again. Well.... however, I still like taking time for cooking!

Expectations for a new semester (110 words)

Hi guys!  Nice to have around again.

Today we have to write about the expectations we have for this new term.

To start with, this, at least for me, has been a very hectic and rushed year, it started off with a huge interpreting project which took all my summer, and now, starting my second year at "La Chile", it is facing me with many new challenges, and I guess this will continue throughout both terms.

I hope I can meet all the requirements life is imposing this year, I wish I can do my best at classes, I expect to have only very keen and eager to learn students, also, I would like them to learn from me as much as possible, and beyond all of it, I really dream my teaching will help them for their lives.

In the personal, short-run outcomes, I really hope I can continue learning more, both from my students and from life, I wish I become wiser every day and furthermore, more importantly, I expect my work can be of good use for the new leaders of this country, all of them, fortunately, are my students.

Cheers!

The Apple Without The Worm (130 words min)

 

 

For some time I had been quite disconnected from all society, I had already spent 6 months without a mobile.
Back then I had started working for a telecommunications company and I had to be on the phone mostly all day long, and that's why I decided, in the end, to get rid of the #cell-phone".

Time went by and some day I had an urgency, I had to hand in a very, very importan document, but with the rush, I left it over my desk at home, and the only way to get it was to call my friend and ask him to drop by and bring it along.
Having thought so, I rushed out the underground to get a pay-phone but guess what, ALL of them were not working, and after several tries, and a big anguish, I managed to contact my friend and get my papers...but it was already a bit late, and the only way I could get in touch was by borrowing a co-worker's mobile!

After that I got a mobile phone, in the 2011, after nearly a year without it. After a while I learnt there were new models, and new apps and the inclusion of 3G, I finally changed to iphone!!!... I use it for everything: to make a call, a free-call, to use wasap, teaching apps, grading apps, ppt creation and many more tools that I have come accross with.

I love my new mobile because of its functionality and the freedom it gives me, because I do not longer need to be behind the desk to do all of the tasks my profession requires. I also love it because it helps me being updated on everything I need updating on, and furthermore, because I might have lots to do, and even though I am very forgetful, with my iphone, I can always be aware of it all!.

Without it, life would be rather the same, perhaps, with the difference that I would be forced to spend less time behind the mobile, but at the same time, forced to spend longer hours behind the desk. If I did not have it, I would be even busier, not being able to work on the run. That's why I now love and use my mobile.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wpsogvhzcjhlt7s/TEXT%20STRUCTURE%20OVERVIEW%20%28BROAD%29.ppt?dl=0


 SAMPLE:

I was born far south, well, not so far, just 510 km south from the capital.

My home city used to be Concepción, where in 1985 I was born; but when I was 5 years old my Father got a job in another city so we had to move to Los Angeles.

Los Ángeles is a small city, at about 180 km from Concepción, it's a service and pulp-industry town, and it is also the capital city of the Bio-Bio Province.

The city is sourrounded by very green landscapes and because of the pulp industry, the sorroundings nowadays, is nearly covered with pine trees and eucalyptus, which are used for the production of the raw material used to make paper.

My father, who is an engineer, and my mother, who is a housewife, took us all with them and I ended up being raised in this new town. I also went to school there. I spent all my life, from 1st primary to 4th high school in catholic institutions.

My hobbies were not many, I used to play volleyball, I took guitar lessons, but finally, I think the most enjoyable hobby was to learn new languages, and because there were not many options, I studied English.

After graduation I went college and finally I got to Santiago where I have been living for the past 5 years.

I hope my future helps me keep my southern roots and perhaps, I will come back to the south....one day.
