Welcome!

- Put your phone in the bag

- What can you expect in this next semester?

- How to give a presentation

Who am I? 

- My name is Homaira Faqiri 

- I am 23 years old, born and raised in Arnhem but I'm Afghan. 

- I used to be a student at this school (so some of your teachers used to be mine as well).

- My hobbies are dancing, watching kdramas, going to cute cafes, taking pretty pictures and traveling.

- Fun facts: there's a viral TikTok video of me, I used to have blue hair, I randomly met an actor from squid game in South Korea.

Who are you?

- Instead of asking you basic questions, I'd like to get to know you by having you answer random questions. 

- In pairs, answer a couple of questions you'll see on the next slide, in English. 

- I'll walk around to listen to your answers and get an idea of who you guys are.

Speaking exercise: Answer as many questions with your partner as you can within 10 minutes. Just make sure you're doing it in English and are explaining your answer. 

1. Would you rather have a boring well-paying job or a low wage 

job? and why? 

2. Do you believe in 'love at first sight'? Explain.

3. What are three things you want to do/achieve before you 

turn 25? 

4. Would you rather be able to play every instrument in the 

world? Or be able to speak any language? 

5. Do you think TikTok is more beneficial or more damaging to our society?

This semester

Period 3: Speaking exam: presentations about your book

Period 4: Listening exam & grammar exam 

This means that from now on during every lesson, 4 students will have a presentation and if we have time left during those lessons we'll practice our listening skills and learn some new grammar. 

Book presentations

- What do you need to talk about?

- When are you going to give the presentation?

- What are you going to be graded on? 

hierna laat ik ze zien waar ze op beoordeeld worden en moeten ze gelijk inplannen wanneer ze aan de beurt zijn voor de presentaties 

Let's practice: write your opinion on your book ±20 minutes

Grab your laptop or a pen and paper. Make sure you save this document well for you own presentation.

1. Discuss what you particularly liked about the book.                                   ways to express your opinion:

   > Did the story grip you and keep you turning the pages?

   > Did the characters feel real to you?

   > Were certain types of scene written particularly well?

      sad scenes, mysterious scenes...

2. Mention anything you disliked about the book.

    > Did it focus on a theme you didn't find interesting?

    > Did you find it difficult to care about a main character, 

       and do you know why?

3. Summarise some of your thoughts on the book by suggesting the type of reader you'd recommend the book to. For example: younger readers, older readers, fans of relationship drama/mystery stories/comedy. Are there any books or series you would compare it to?

Ending the lesson

- You can finish the introduction to your presentation at home and you can show it to me during the next lesson if you want feedback on it, but it isn't necessary. 

- If you have any questions for me or want me to know something in particular let me know. 

- I hope you learned something new today and wish you a good rest of the day!

- You may pack your bags and wait for the bell to leave. 

How do you start a presentation?  video 1

On the next slide there's a video on how to start a presentation. While watching the video I want you to answer this question: 

In the video the lady mentions that it isn't important to the audience what you are going to talk about because they usually already know. What should you focus on instead?

•  We should focus on why you're going to talk about your topic.

How do you start a presentation? video 2

• For the next video I need you to grab your laptop or a pen and paper. 
  
• The lady in the video gives you 4 steps to follow in order to have a great start to your presentation. 
  
• Write down in details what each of the steps are.
  

4 steps to an introduction

1. Start with a hook: (hook= iets wat de aandacht trekt) Like a story or a question >Have you ever seen law & order or CSI? ....
2. Transition to topic:what does the hook have to do with your presentation? > ''You might be wondering 'what does this have to do with presentation skills?' well .....''
3. Short introduction of who you are. (in onze geval kan je deze stap overslaan.)
4.  Audience benefit (dus wat is het nut van jouw presentatie voor jouw publiek) ''If you follow this not only will your audience be leaning in wanting to hear more but also.....''

4 steps to a good introduction

Practice 

- Schrijf nu zelf een korte introductie voor jouw presentatie.

- Gebruik de stappen van de vorige slide. (je hoeft niet met een vraag te beginnen. Mag dus ook een verhaal/ metafoor etc)
- Wees creatief! Jouw doel is om het onderwerp zo interessant mogelijk te introduceren om de aandacht te trekken. 

- schrijf het op in een google drive/ word document om het goed te bewaren en schrijf tenminste 150 woorden.
