Last week six of our students presented their projects. Unfortunately all of the students used PowerPoint as their presentation tool (as expected). We were hoping more students would branch off away from PP and use more creative methods. The projects included Italian Fashion, Persian Military, Japanese Music, French Cuisine, Incan Way of Life, and Italian Music. We did get to hear some clips of Japanese Music, which was very interesting.  However, I wish that our students had elected to do more “beyond PowerPoint” activities such as a runway show, cooking a dish, or bringing in some examples to illustrate topics.  Overall, the PP presentations were very well done, especially considering the short period of time the students had to complete them.  Next week we will have around eight students present their topics.
