Group Presentations of “Web-Learning” Experience

Group Presentations of “Web-Learning” Experience

1. The class will re-organize into 10 groups. Feel free to form new groups—to make new friends from different departments and learn to work with new people.
2. As a class, we will look at New York Times (on line). There are ten subject areas and each team will draw (or choose) to present on two different subjects at the assigned weeks of the semester. The ten subjects are: world, science, technology, health, arts, sports, style, business, travel and education/politics.
3. Everyone, not just the presenting group, will read a major article and other supporting material for the subject area of the week. However, it is reasonable to expect that the presenting groups will be do a more through job because they will be the resource people for the session.
4. Each presentation will be 10 minutes. Every member of the group must be responsible for a part, such as the major article content, background information, reader feedbacks, audio-visual links, personal responses to the featured reports.
5. The presentations must be in English. Handout is welcome. Use of Internet to show NYT is necessary.
6. The audience will raise questions—as they have also read the featured section, there should be some interesting and enthusiastic responses.
7. The teacher will be happy to answer questions to help you prepare for this presentation.
