PRESENTATION RANKINGS

These rankings are based on students' evaluation sheets, and the presentations are not necessarily
evaluated the same way by the instructor of this class. Yet, presentations are not only for the
teacher but also for your audience. And these rankings show how well these people
"communicated" with their audience in their speeches. Congratulations!!! I hope many of you
will appear in these rankings.

SPEECH #2 "SHOW AND TELL" (May 27, 2016)

1. Hanahata (Average Score = 23.7 out of 25.0)
2. Urata (23.4)
3. Miyake (22.9)
4. Ikeda (22.5)
5. Kawamoto (21.7)

Want to be one of the top five speakers for the next speech (mid-term Speech #3)?
Use the checklist for Speech #3 (pp. 37-38, other supplementary handouts, and the
SS textbook) and rehearse with a watch and physical message a lot. Good luck!

SPEECH #3 "BOOK/MOVIE REVIEW" (June 3, 2016)

1. Hanahata (Score = 32.5 out of 35.0)
2. Urata (32.0)
3. Ikeda (31.8)
4. Sone (31.7)
5. Yoneyama (31.6)

Mr. Hanahata, Mr. Urata, and Mr. Ikeda did it again!
They were selected to be among the top five speakers for Speech #3.
Congratulations! And we have two new comer in the ranking list; Mr. Sone and Mr. Yoneyama.
Welcome! Yet, notice that the differences in the scores are
very small (from 31.6 to 32.5), and this means all their presentations were very good.
These speakers must have used the worksheet for Speech
#3 carefully and prepared the story message (or the content) of their speeches well.
When you look at your speech in the DVD, look at these people's presentations too!
You can learn a lot from good presentations. The class average was 29.4,
which is also a very good score. Although Speech #3 is difficult to do due to its
short time limit, Class I-29 did a good job!

SPEECH #4 Introduction of Final Speech (June 14, 2016)

1. Hanahata (Average Score = 26.9 out of 30.0)
2. Shimada (26.6)
3. Matsui (26.5)
4. Sone (26.4)
5. Ikeda and Tamura (26.3)

We have three new comers to the ranking list; Mr. Shimada, Ms. Tamura, and Mr. Matsui.
Welcome! Although the preparation time was very short, these top speakers managed time
well and prepared very good posters. Their physical and story messages were also good.
Congratulations! Although their names are not written here, there are a couple of students
who were selected to be among the top 10 speakers for the first time.
FYI: The class average was 24.6. Note that you can find the schedule of the presentation
section in the annoucement section. Check it out and manage your time/schedule well, so that
ALL of you will succeed with the final presentations for this course. Good luck!

SPEECH #4 Final Speech (June 21 and 24, 2016)

The class average was 42.96, a very high score for the whole class again!
Not only these top five speakers but also many students in
this class did a very good job. Congratulations to all of you!
You should be proud of yourself and your class. I believe
all of you are ready to give presentations in English Seminars
Although the presentation section of Study Skill is over, 
as I said in class, you will give many presentations in the
future. Remember what you have learned in this class
and continue to give good presentations in the future.
