In week seventeen, we asked Mr. Paul if we can do the last presentation by group because there is no time and we are 25 students in the class. He said ok but maximum 2 students in each group and the number of slides should be more than 16. On Wednesday, five students present their presentation and four of them were as a group. In the beginning, the twins Abdulla and Abdullrahman Nabil present a very good presentation and their topic was about “Global Warming”. Then Butti and Ahmed Alrawahi present their topic which was about “Contamination of Lake Baikal”. After them came Abdulla Awad and present his topic which I think it was very good. His presentation was about “Technical Waste”. On Thursday, Osama and I presented our power point which was about “Global Warming”. Mr. Paul and the students like our presentation because we did a good job. After that, Mr. Paul allowed us to leave the class and finishes our report.

In week fifteen, the students continued presented their presentation. Jaber presented about concrete, Omar sultan presented about Cranes, Hamad Al Khiali also presented about concrete. Jaber and Omar got good marks but Hamad got 70% because his presentation was very bad. The font and color were different in each slide. The slides were almost empty and don’t include a lot of picture. After that, Mr. Paul asked the report from the students who finished it. Few students submitted the report like Butti, Abdulla and Abdulrahman. The Twins also submitted the vocabulary list.

Faisal is the only one who presented On Wednesday but he was not sure if he ready to present his presentation or not, so he asked if he can do the presentation for practice only and Mr. Paul said no problem.

Abdullrahman Nabel was the first students who presented his presentation and it was good. He got 80% in his presentation and he was satisfied with it. Then, Butti presented his presentation and it’s was better than Abdullrahman and he got 84%. In the following day, three students finished their presentation. Ahmed and I we were late maybe for 35 minutes because of traffic. We entered the class from the back door because we don’t want to disturb the class when the students doing their presentation.

In week twelve, the students were supposed to start present their presentation which it was prepared in the independent learning week. But no one of the students was ready to present his presentation. Mr. Paul doesn’t have a lot of time to waste it so he started discuss with us how he gave the marks for each group in the last meeting. He also explained for us how the next presentation will be marked and how the marks will be given. At the end of the class, Mr. Powell asked the students to prepare a simple presentation for the following day. In the next day, we started the class with Butti presentation which was nice to show the students how the presentation should be and they should got the idea from Butti presentation. After that, we completed the class with Ali Rashid presentation which was about nuclear energy and it was nice too.
