Friday

Formal Student Presentations:

-       Topic: 1)Technology or 2)Travel

-       Students will stand at the front of the room.

-       Length: 10-15min

-       1) Students will research a piece of technology (e.g. cellphone, satellite, video game console, etc.). Where was it developed? Where is it most popular? What is it used for? Why do we need it? Do we need it? Do you think it will be helpful or harmful over the long term? How does it affect the privacy or the lives of regular citizens?

-       2) Students will research a place they would like to travel and make a plan. Where is this place? What is the political/social situation there? Why would you want to go there (to vacation, to volunteer, etc.)? How much would it cost? How would you get there (airline, ship)? Are there Visa/passport requirements? What is the weather like? Is this a popular place for travel?

See you in class tomorrow for the debate!
