Lesson 2 – Eye Contact

Speaking of Speech
We also look at the Speaking of Speech textbook and learned about the Visual Message and about bad postures to avoid. Finally, we looked at a model Informative Speech on the DVD. Next week you will give an Informative Speech about your hometown or any city. You will need to use  Google Slides  for your presentation. See the steps below.




Presentation Slides
You need to share your slides with me before you come to class next week.

1. Go to Google Drive.
2. From the New button on the top left, choose Google Slides.
3. Give the title your full name + 19S EP + Informative Speech (eg. Taro Suzuki 19S EP Informative Speech).
4. Click the Share button and write my Rikkyo address. (You can continue to make changes after you share.)
5. Finish your slides before class and be ready to present. Due 4/28 23:59. You can share your slides now and continue working on them until the class.
6. Practice, practice, practice!

Your slides should be full slide photographs of your city. The best photographs are your own photographs from your camera or smartphone. If you cannot get your photos yourself, get large photos from Google Images.


Your slideshow should have at least 8 slides:

• A title slide with the name of your hometown and your name. (1 slide)
• An overview slide with your four points (text). (1 slide)
• One (or more) slides for each point. (4 or more slides)
• Summary slide with your four points (images). (1 slide)
• Title slide as your final slide. (1 slide)

Watch Lisa Suzuki's Informative Speech on the DVD again. Practice with your slides many times to be smooth at it. Practice makes perfect! 

If you do not want to bring a computer to class next week, download the Google Slides app for your smartphone and log in.
