Firstly, Mr. Paterson taught us a presentation technic called Pecha Kucha which was established in Japan. Pecha Kucha's format shows 20 slides with chosen images, each for 20 seconds. There are 30 minutes of networking time instead of Q&A time. I believe this is a more efficient way because students can ask the question to target presenter and get an answer as soon as possible. We put the title slide, outline, 4 slides each for 3 sections, summary of whole presentation, conclusion, limitation, references, photo credits, and one last thing. It only includes indispensable elements and the whole presentation is quite speedy. For the three sections, I'm planning to present the connection between author and novel, a summary of the book, and my critic. Controlling time would be a significant point for Pecha Kucha and I want to use a long time to explain the main three sections.

Secondly, we learned another presentation technic called Ignite which is even shorter than Pecha Kucha. Ignite includes 15 slides and moves to the next slide every 15 or 20 seconds. Most parts are the same but there are only 3 slides for each section and no photo credit slide. We can exchange the main three sections' slides and control time according to the amount of information.

Lastly, I want to write my impression of online classes and resumed school life. In most classes during quarantine, teachers and students were not connected (some classes including LE did). Instead, the teacher explains unilaterally through presentation slides and worksheets. I believe many students couldn't concentrate all the time and understand the content of the class perfectly. In addition, there are considerable differences in the learning situation depending on the students. Some of my classmates finished classes completely while others didn't even touch it. I can feel teachers are struggling in an unprecedented situation too. Infected number in Tokyo is graduating and online class might resume, we should try hard to improve bad points.
