Oral Presentations
Thursday, November 29, 2007
All
your classmates are looking forward to your presentation. Make it
interesting! (And don't forget to bring a little bit of food or drink !
The
first time one watches a movie, one’s attention is generally absorbed
by the story line. The spectator generally does not become
conscious of the hidden motives of the characters, of the
structure
of the movie, i.e. of the director’s work, of the camera
man’s work and of the actors’ work until s/he sees
the movie for a second time.
You
can review all the movies that we saw in the Cinema class in the
Language Learning Center (LLC) on the second floor of the Learning Tech
Center/Library (bldg. 6). Use of the LLC is free (with a student ID).
Please do not rely on other people’s opinions for
your oral presentations. Form your own opinions by watching the movies
again (and again). Successive viewings will increase your understanding
and your appreciation of them. Rule 1
Keep your oral presentation short and focused!
(Maximum 5 minutes)
Rule 2
Look at your classmates while talking to them! Do NOT read!
Rule 3
Use your own ORAL style! Do not use somebody else's words or sentences!
A list of possible topics is available on a separate page. Here are
the instructions for choosing a topic on that
page:
- Select your name.
- Enter your ID into the field.

the last four digits
of your Mt. SAC Student ID number.

for you and no longer available to your classmates.
