HW 0125

In the last class, we did poster presentation about bioethics.
I haven't finished my own presentation, but I heard 4 presentations in the last class.
So, I answered two questions which Chiris asked us to answer on our own blog.

1. How did this exercise help you improve your communication skills?
I think eye contact is important for the situation that we want to tell someone some information.
All of presenters I heard presentations had a good eye contact. In addition, audience also need eye contact. When they hear some presentation, they need to be interested in it and show this attitude to a presenter.

2.What advice can you give class mates about poster design?
I heard 4 presentation, Shinichiro, Kodai, Hitomi and Miku.

Shinichiro- your poster is colorful and creative!
using many colors make your poster attractive.
but it had better decrease letters to be more simple.

Kodai-results of your interiew are easy to understand by using charts.
And your poster shows flow of your interview clearly.
but it had better add information about your interviewees.

Hitomi-using color is good!
and amounts of information is appropriate for your presentation.
it had better device in using visuals.

Miku- your poster show connections between each questions.
And you use visuals effectively.
it had better leave more space to show your result more clearly.


Thank you for your presentations!
I will do my best in the next class...

Interviews on Teenagers' abortion

In the last class, I made four questions for my presentation. My topic is "teenagers' abortion in Japan". So I tried to ask these questions for high school students who are my friends.

In this winter vacation, I interviewed three boys and three girls who are all high school students by e-mail because I did not have enough time to see them. However, each of them gave me interesting answers because each of them have different ideas for abortion. Especially, there are many differences between boys and girls.

I will show what they have opinions about abortion in my presentation, but today, I am also interested in your ideas about my topic "teenagers' abortion in Japan".

So, if you want, please think about these questions and respond me!!


1. What images do you have about "Abortion"?

2.At first, you have a girl friend(A boy friend). If you (or your girl friend) get pregnant now, which do you decide, abortion or childbirth? Why?

3.Do you think you have enough knowledge about sexual issues? Why or why not?

4.What do you think the present condition that it is easy for children to access some materials including sexual expression?


Thanx!
