Memorable, Last Meeting.. How?
I am Teaching English for Public Speaking in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. My students are 3rd graders of Senior High School. Next week is the last meeting; and we have been working hard throughout the whole program. I want to have something interestingly fun, yet educating. I want to make it unforgettable, yet still related to Public Speaking and Motivational Activities in general. For teachers and students, any idea?

Give everyone a paperback Dictionary/Thesaurus. I am lost without mine.

Hi maybe you can bring a baked good if you are allowed? Or some refreshments and have the last "class" be a social, good bye gathering where they have to play toastmasters & speak in front of each other. First have the students each write their name on a strip of paper, and a silly subject on another strip of paper. Toastmasters but on silly subjects, so put all the names into a hat & all the subjects into another one. Draw a name & have that person, draw a subject & talk on the topic for 3 minutes or less.

make a inspirational speech and have them make a short speech about how they feel about the class. im in public speaking and i would want to do that, and your job is very interesting by the way.

I'm confused as to the age of your students when they're called 3rd graders, but at a Senior High School, so its difficult to give you an answer that will fit the range of 8 to 17 year old students. Also, you don't say how long your last meeting is scheduled to last, nor if the style of the class is interactive or lecture, so that further confuses the issue. Nevertheless, here are 2 ideas for your consideration: 1. Lecture - Pick a GREAT example of someone in history who was a wonderful motivater of people (ie: Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr.; Winston Churchill; Bishop Tutu; etc.), then present examples of that person's public speaking to your students. Alternatively, you could do a collage of several different examples, then ask the class to vote on their favorite one. (If you have computer or video facilities to actually show them the examples that would be great!) 2. Interactive - Assignment is for each student to present to the class a statement of why someone is their favorite motivational public speaker & give 1 or 2 quotes from that person. For each presentation given, the other students have to vote on who they think the speaker is. (You can have this be done in a written format that you would grade later, or if you have the time in class do it verbally, or put all names on a flip chart & have the class vote on who they think it is - giving another famous quote from that person as proof.) If I would have had more details about the audience, time & resource constraints, etc. I might be able to offer more ideas; but, I hope these help.

Any thing is possible why wouldn't this be? Go for it!

With the right guidance and sufficient funds, of course it's possible.
3 :
All things are possible.
4 :
You don't need much equipment to do a simple TV production. If you don't need to get broadcast quality then a camcorder and a computer with some sort of editing software will do. However if you want professional results then you'll need to invest in cameras, lighting, microphones, editing suite, studio with vision and audio mixing. And have the technical training to operate these things.

you can do anything at all if you set ur mind to it. persevere and give it a shot. can't wait to see it

AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has Released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College .. Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must Claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking. Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London , where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue. Under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama's legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey . This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio's case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama's citizenship or qualification to serve as president. Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. Attorney general. LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS, THE MEDIA WON'T ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obama's qualification for the presidency is a moot point. He IS the president, by the will of his people! and, just WHAT does this have to do with languages????

You certainly are gullible, aren't you? Did you check the Occidental College website? Or any of the other claims cited? This was an April Fools Day joke that originally appeared on April 1, 2008. This chain email contains multiple falsehoods: * The article is not from the Associated Press (AP), which has confirmed to FactCheck.org that the article is a hoax. A web search also turns up no record of the article being published at established, reputable news outlets, and as Snopes.com has observed the article does not conform to AP stylebook guidelines. * The group "Americans for Freedom of Information" does not exist. A web search for the group returns no official group by that name, though now the search does return a site that says "Americans for Freedom of Information: We Do Not Exist" and proceeds to mock as "chumps" people who take the chain email seriously. * Occidental College has not released any of Obama's education transcripts, and nor does a web search indicate that they have ever been ordered to. * Britain's Daily Mail has not published an article titled "Obama Eligibility Questioned" on their front page or otherwise. * Leo Donofrio's lawsuit claiming that Obama has dual citizenship was rejected by the Supreme Court on December 8, 2008. * At the United States Justice Foundation's website there is no mention of a study claiming that Obama has spent any money, let alone close to a million dollars in campaign funds, fighting to block disclosure of personal records. Gary Kreep has moreover informed FactCheck.org that the claim that his organization has released the results of such a study is a hoax. What was your headline again? Do you think there is hype now?

Good Day Y!A USA. I'm from Indonesia. There is something I really want to ask?
Good Day Y!A USA. I'm from Indonesia. There is something I really want to ask?
1. it is true that primary school students can choose their favourite subjects ? so, not all subjects you must study ? if it's true, you're so lucky..in my country, we must study all subjects... 2. what is your favourite subject ? Thanks for your participation answering my question I only heard from my teacher about school in western countries, so I get curious :D :D oh, last question which one is right ? primary school or elementary school ?

No primary students do not get to choose what they study. I am no longer in school so do not have a favorite subject. It can be either primary or elementary school, they mean the same thing.
2 :
Primary students would be from Kindergarten (age 5) to 5th grade. No they do not get to pick any subjects in school. We would call it elementary school, not primary. Some middle school students (grades 6-8th) may have the option of some elective classes-like music or art. High school students have some options. There are required classes to take to graduate and to take for college. those are 4 yrs of english, 3 yrs of science, 3 yrs of math, 2/3 yrs of a foreign language, 2 yrs of history. Some classes my daughter choose to take were, orchestra, calculus, physics, forensics, psychology, german, and speech

If by primary school you're referring to up to about thirteen/fourteen years of age, that's not true actually. However, I'm guessing you mean grades nine through twelve (ages fourteen through eighteen). It varies from school to school as well as what state you're in, but I'll use my school as a general example because I think that's probably around the average. Where I attend school, in ninth grade you can choose your elective (music, art, or technology), and after you take the general course, throughout the next three years you can take related classes (for example, art could lead to taking drawing or photography class, music to a higher music course, or technology to woodworking). You can also choose to take classes like psychology, and I think in twelfth grade you don't have to take math or something like that. In eleventh and twelfth grades, the specific class is not required, but you have to take a science class for example. However, some people will take physics, while others choose forensic science. My favorite classes are probably AP World History, Spanish, and English. Generally in the US, we say elementary school for kindergarten through fifth grade (ages five to eleven), junior high or middle school for grades six through eight (ages eleven through fourteen), and high school (ages fourteen through eighteen), but I think in some areas they might say primary and secondary school. I hope that wasn't too confusing, and that it helped! :)
