Reading presentation and project meating

6 weeks have passed since we started working together as Imai seminar. In the past 5 weeks, we have studied several things such as the basis of communication, facilitation skills, and English presentation skills. From this week, we have started a new activity called reading presentation besides the seminar project meeting by using the skills which we have already learned.

 First, the class started with a reading presentation.  From this week, a couple of members make a presentation on a summary of each chapter of a textbook in front the class in each week. The first presenters were Misaki, Shiori, and Miyu. They did a great presentation though this was the first English presentation in this seminar. They must have been very nervous. However, they carefully explained us about what is intimate relationship, so we can easily understand it.

 

 After the presentation, each of us asked presenters a question related the chapter in textbook. Some questions were very deep, but presenters helped each other and carefully answered all of our questions.

The next thing we did was a project meeting. In the previous meeting, we have decided to make a free paper, so we were talking about 2 things in this week; who can be the reader of our free paper and what contents we put on the paper. This week, Miyako and Risa led our meeting as leaders by using facilitation skills. As a result of the meeting, we unanimously decided to make the free paper for university students, but couldn'tu choose its contents because we have many things that we wanted to put on it.

In conclusion, we have started a new activity called reading presentation from this week besides the seminar project meeting. Both may be a bit tough for us, but we succeeded in doing both work in this week. This experience will lead to our confidence on doing new things, and it would be very meaningful for our future.
