Hello lovely crew!
  I have uploaded the outlines you have to follow for the presentations. Remember that together, we will be grading the presentations. Please check what will be assessed by reading the presentation rubric that it is available on the blog in the General Information Section. Remember that it is the same rubric I will give you to grade your classmates. Here I am posting hte specificitation of the presentations:

1. A 20min (with 10 seconds grace) Power Point presentation. (If your feel that you need more time please tell me in advance = 3 days before, so you don't get penalised)
2. It should include ALL the information stated in the outline.
3. The ppt should ONLY be a guide for your team to follow. Big chunks of copied and pasted information will be penalised (More images than words).
4. The ppt should also be a tool for your audience to UNDERSTAND the topic. Therefore it should be didactic and easy to follow.
• You can include videos in your presentation. There are many amazing videos about your topics, I've seen them! 
• If you are going to use a video in your presentation, remember to rehearse the whole presentation and adjust your time to fulfil the required time.
5. All team members should expose a part of the presentation. (Changing slides of the ppt is not a role)
6. Support your information (explanations like: I liked it, I agreed, I thought the same, It is nice, It is pretty; are NOT accepted as information!).
7. The whole presentation the 30 points allocated to the lab (so, take advantage of this situation, make good presentations to get a good mark!).
• The exposition is worth 20 points.
• The other 10 points are explained below.
8. You have to produce a set of notes (handout) for your classmates to study from. This is worth 5 points.
• It should include ALL the information you are presenting. I will use the information of your handouts to make your exam, so help each other!!!!
• Remember that you can make interactive handouts. If you do, they will count as classwork! =)
9. You have to lead a very well organise activity that helps to understand or revise your topic. This is worth 5 points as well.
• Asking questions randomly IS NOT considered an activity, that could be the closure of your topic, though.
• You can organise a game like a "mini-maratón", "trivia", "mini-quiz" (it is just a suggestion). Be creative!

   I am sure that you will produce amazing presentations, handouts and activities, you already have. I am very proud of you because the quality of your work is increasing, so, increase it even more, I know you can!!!! And remember to enjoy being part of somebody else's development. I have faith in you.

See you in class, Miss Zohemy

Hello my lovely crew!
   I will post the two ppt presentations for your homework until tomorrow around 11:10am. This is  because G106 has not had the activity yet. Lets help them to enjoy the game as well. I had a lot of fun today! I hope you did as well.
See you on monday!

Welcome to a new school year!

Hi guys!
You might be asking where I got the idea for the title of the blog. Well, here it is the video from which I got it. To answer any calling we need a motivation, don´t we? I belive that the first calling we receive is from life itself.


I do hope that throughout this year, we find ways to enjoy, appreciate and love life in order to answer its calling.

Enjoy!
