プリテレプロジェクト

For this project, we will be expressing ourselves via live broadcast to Japanese speakers and learners of Japanese. (This live will be also recorded and can be viewed later.) We often practice for various exercises in class but with this project we will experience producing a “real” live broadcast.

Purposes:

1) Express yourself on TV in 4-5 minutes. Think carefully about your message, along with who your viewers would be (i.e., native speakers of Japanese as well as learners of Japanese). (Please think about what you can communicate with your current level of Japanese.) 2) Convey your views not only with the Japanese language but also using images, gestures, your tone of voice, and volume of voice.

Procedures: 　　

1) Form a group with 3-4 people 2) Sign up for the date that you would like to present your live broadcast 3) Submit a proposal by November 12, Monday: Decide on the message you would like to express and how to express this. (If you have no idea what to do, try Show & Tell.) 4) Submit a script by December 7, Friday 5) Edit your script based on comments from the instructors 6) Practice your presentation with either Sato-sensee or Shibata-sensee 7) Present a live broadcast using UStream on January 7-9. 8) Exchange comments on UStream comment section 9) Conduct final evaluation.

*If you do not want your face to appear in the broadcast, think of a way in which to present without your face being shown. You could of course choose to present anonymously.
