<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I certainly hope you do. Technology has brought on different ways to have access to story telling. I must admit that I was a critic of reading from an iPad, or a Kindle; however I have come to embrace it. I still prefer paper, traditional books. Romantic reasons I suppose. Audio Books came about years ago to help people with poor eyesight, or people looking to beat the stress of traffic jams. Now we have podcasts. Here is a podcast from The New Yorker. <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-authors-voice/sarah-shun-lien-bynum-reads-the-burglar" target="_blank">The Burglar</a> was written by Sarah Shun-Lien Bynum, and it is here read by her. The audio 40 minutes long, including the interview, so take your time. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;">A Few Tips on Public Speaking.</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;"><b><u>Practice</u></b>. Many people fail at speaking in public because they don't practice before. Make sure that you know when you are going to use gestures.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;"><b><u>KNOW what you are talking about</u></b>. Study the material and write it yourself, use <b><i><u>your</u></i></b> words.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;"><b><u>Introduce yourself and classmates</u></b>.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;"><b><u>State your topic</u></b>, and the main parts of your presentations. If necessary, state the purpose of your talk; persuade, inform, etc. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;"><b><u>Make eye contact</u></b>. It helps connect with your audience. </span><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Look at the audience</span><span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;">, NOT at the presentation or the teacher. PowerPoint is a tool, NOT the center of your presentation.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;"><b><u>Control mannerisms</u></b>. Your body language is very important. Don't put your hands in your pockets, or cross your arms... watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFLjudWTuGQ" target="_blank">this video</a>. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;"><b><u>Enunciate</u></b>. Speak clearly. NEVER worry about your accent; embrace it.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;"><b><u>DON'T read your presentation</u></b>. That is sure way to lose the interest of your audience.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-size: large;"><b><u>Enjoy it</u></b>. If you enjoy your presentation, your audience will too.</span></li>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When you do a</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> presentation in PowerPoint, take this into account. There are so many PowerPoint presentations that are just absolutely boring. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">As you know, your assignment was to go to the MAC (Museo de Arte Contemporaneo) and take extensive notes on your impressions, and how you feel about what you saw. We do not need a list of what they are showing there, or the history of the museum. We need you to open, both, your heart and mind. Your presentation will be precisely about that. I will need to see your notes. Remember that you can NOT type your notes into your phone so as not to get distracted. Again, this presentation is a VERY PERSONAL deal.Don't be afraid! Don't cheat yourself out of this experience. Avoid short cuts.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are museums in nearly every city in the world. In such a wide range of offers, it is only natural to find unique museums and galleries dedicated to unusual subject matter. Wax Museums are a clear example of this. They have become a chain, and quite the tourist attraction. You can read a bit how Madame Marie <a href="https://www.madametussauds.com/SiteImages/Assets/9/Microsoft%20Word%20-%20Life%20of%20Madame%20Tussaud_4.pdf" target="_blank">Tussaud</a> came to be known for her wax figures.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are some museums that are far from being average; they are truly one-of-a-kind. These places can either represent a community, or cater to special interests.. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For example, we have the <a href="http://www.museumofbadart.org/" target="_blank">MOBA</a>. Read and find out about its origins and philosophy; then, look at their collection. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why do you think we need places that are so unique?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the idea of the <a href="http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/24461/1/europes-first-techno-museum-to-open-in-frankfurt?utm_source=Link&utm_medium=Link&utm_campaign=RSSFeed&utm_term=europes-first-techno-museum-to-open-in-frankfurt" target="_blank">Techno Museum </a>coming to Frankfurt, your assignment is an easy one today. Go on line, and find a one-of-a-kind museum that you would like us to know about. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You will give your presentations in pairs. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">ONE more time I am asking you to be as unconventional as possible. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ask yourself how you can incorporate the subject matter of the museum into the dynamic of your presentation.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Presentations are to be mailed in before 6P.M. on Sunday.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Success is yours.</span></span>Dr. Ralfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07319281141369819869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820013739418558935.post-59029371784505938832015-10-09T06:39:00.000-07:002015-10-09T06:39:07.949-07:00Accents are nothing to be ashamed of<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As you get ready to present your projects, it is important that you get more experience in the world of museums. These are some links to some museums which I love. Also some explanations on how culture is accessed and used in Mexico. Visit <b><i>every</i></b> link, take a tour, watch videos, look at pictures, read the posts... and do some serious research.</span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">can not</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> read your presentation.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vocabulary is very important. In this activity we are going to learn vocabulary for counties and languages IN ENGLISH. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How many countries in Europe can you name? What is the capital of Denmark? What is the official currency in Turkey? What is the official language of Finland? You may, or may not agree with me, but there things you (we) have to know. I know some people feel that learning a lot of information might actually be useless. Knowledge can never be useless.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will first test your memory by taking a quiz on <a href="http://www.lizardpoint.com/fun/geoquiz/euroquiz.html">Europe</a> and its geography,<b><i> just for fun</i></b>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After that, complete this <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeE0jKpbL7rjnYh7ToBUPKFa9y5dCC8vQ0oMGWKkb9g/edit?hl=en&authkey=CNDIvJ8N">chart</a> in English. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you finish, email the document to <b>ralfortiz@gmail.com; </b>The subject and the name of the attachment should be YOUR_NAME_Europe.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All the information you gather you will use in another project. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And that is all for San Pablo.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition, you will go to this link after class and study the parts of speech. This information is VERY important for you to understand how English works; <a href="http://www.english-grammar-revolution.com/parts-of-speech.html">http://www.english-grammar-revolution.com/parts-of-speech.html</a></span></li>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For your final project you have to convince people your age, people like you to visit, and continue visiting, museums. For your presentation think about these questions:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Did you find beauty in museums and art?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Would you go back?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Can you attract people to experiment the sensation of going to museums?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Can you really capture a young person's attention?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Can you be convincing?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Can you be AUTHENTIC, HONEST and ORIGINAL?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You might want to write some more questions for yourself.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Also, remember that it is very important for you to express your well thought out ideas. Do not just go to the cliches, the empty words that everyone repeats. Speak from your heart. Go back to the previous posts and look at the speaking an presentation tips. Be yourself. Use different intonations, use your body, look at people in the eye. Show everybody that you know what you are talking about.</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">BE PROFESSIONAL. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You can present in anyway you like; PowerPoint or with other material.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Executive uniforms must be worn as specified in your rule book.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Use example and arguments that are clear. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is NO reading.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you present in a team (pairs), BOTH member must speak equally.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Projects will be presented on Tuesday, June 2nd. The class starts at 7 and you are expected to be there, fully prepared. ON TIME!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Late arrivals will be counted as absences, and may lose points if they are disruptive.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If i call your team and you or your partner are not there, you lose your opportunity.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You must turn in a written document containing the detailed arguments and points of you presentation. If the material has been copied and pasted and/or translated literally your grade will be severely affected. If you do not turn in a document you will not be allowed to present.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Success is yours</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We all have, or have had, an artistic vein. Your job for your last presentation before the final project, is to find an artist like you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yes. You read right, an artist like you. (1) Go the entry on museum <a href="http://doctorralf.blogspot.mx/2013/11/how-would-you-get-people-like-you-to.html" target="_blank">virtual tours</a>. (2) Choose an artist, and (3) make a 6-slide PowerPoint presentation about how YOU and the artist are similar and two ways in which you are different. (4) Include specific examples of the painting or scupture or photograph that highlight these similarities or differences. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(5) You will also read <a href="http://blog.ted.com/how-to-give-more-persuasive-presentations-a-qa-with-nancy-duarte/" target="_blank">this</a> and PAY ATTENTION. You might also want to watch the video I had shared with you, in order to organize your presentation as I broke it down for you last Monday. Finally (6) you must include notes in the presentation so that I may see them as you are presenting without reading.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">THIS presentation, as well as last week's MAC presentation are the most important ones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Presentations MUST BE sent to my email (ralfortiz@gmail.com) by <b><i><u>today</u></i></b> at midnight.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For your midterm project you will give a presentation where you have to answer ONE question; "How can you incorporate art to your everyday life?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Your challenge is (1) to be completely creative. Think about what <b>YOU</b> would like to see in a presentation. Re-read the post on cretivity and what not to do. (2) Do not copy anybody's words. Use your own. (3) You must include a document where you [a] describe how you built your presntation, and how it challanged you; [b] the questions you asked yourself; [c] mention wichi of the tips from The Toastmasters page you will be using; [d] make sure you that use the correct format to cite your bibliography. (4) Make sure visual support is NOT boring or ordinary. (5) You must speak for no less than 3 minutes, and NO more than 4 minutes [which will be timed]. (6) There is no reading. (7) Projects will be presented on Monday, April 13th.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On the right side of the screen there is a section called Documents, at the bottom there is one called GLIO III Porject Rubric. That is the rubirc that I will use to grade your project.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>I am mainly asking you to challange yourself, and do something that is different from what you regularly do. </i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is your assignment for the next class, and it is very simple. </span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You are going to make a list of 5 specialties that you are interested in. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You will describe, in no more than 50 words, what that specialty is, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and <b>why</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> you want to study it. This has to be in YOUR WORDS, 50 to 100 aadditional words. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You will make and <b>PRINT</b> a word document and bring it to class. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You will give a mini presentation, individually, on ONE of the five specialties, but the trick is that I will tell you which one to talk about.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You <b>can NOT</b> read your presentation.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Take this <a href="http://doccartoon.blogspot.mx/p/medical-specialty-quiz.html" target="_blank">quiz</a> . It is fun.</span></li>
