PRESENTATIONS
WATCH THESE TWO VIDEO CLIPS
THEN READ THE TEXT AND CREATE A SHORT PRESENTATION ON HOW TO MAKE GOOD PRESENTATIONS.
Good presentations are uncommon, but great presentations are rare as basilisk teeth. That's because, when it comes to presentations, the jump from good to great is larger than the jump from bad to good. Here's why:
1. Emotional impact Good presentations are memorable. They contain graphics, images, and facts in such a way that they're easy to remember. A week later, your audience can remember much of what you said. Great presentations are motivating.
2. Information Good presentations contain valid information. Each piece of data is thoroughly fact-checked, accurate, and never misleading. Good presentations provide honest data in an honest way. Great presentations contain minimal information. Any information that's not 100 percent relevant is stripped away, including information noise such as fancy slide work.
3. Storytelling Good presentations include stories. Unlike facts, stories speak to the heart, and every good presentation uses stories to illustrate points and to help people make an emotional connection to the message. Great presentations are stories. Rather than containing stories, great presentations take the audience through an emotional journey that creates a motivation to learn more about the subject

WELCOME BACK. FIRST TASK. 3RDeso ALL GROUPS
WELCOME BACK. SCHOOL YEAR 2014/2015
TO MY STUDENTS OF 3RD ....
Although I know it's a bit difficult to go back to school every year, I think in general you will be happy in a few days. It is great to have daily contact with your classmates, to write and read and speak and learn grammar and vocabulary and Geography or History, to start with new subjects such as Physics and Chemistry or any other new one for you... School life is so varied and exciting at times. Don't you think so? It is stressful too. I hope this blog gets full of your work and projects and that it becomes a useful tool.
And after all this speech, your first assignment for this year and for all classes.

1ST. INTRODUCE YOURSELF.
2ND DESCRIBE YOURSELF PHYSICALLY
3RD. DESCRIBE YOURSELF ( PERSONALITY)
