今年度から有志を募って、Hosenプレゼンクラブ(仮称)が発足されました。
プレゼンの内容はみんな英語で行います。イメージをするとしたらプレゼンテーションで有名なTEDのような感じです。
それぞれ自分たちの思いを聴衆に説得させて聴いている人々の生活を豊かに出来るようなプレゼンテーションを行えるようにするというという素敵なクラブです。
9月30日(金)に学校内で初の発表会が行われ、Sunrise Toastmasters Internationalの村松由貴様が来校してくださいました。
生徒たちのプレゼンテーションを高評してくださいました。後日、詳細をお知らせできたらと思います。
このプレゼンクラブ(仮称)は実は、まだ正式名称が決まっていません。これから生徒たちと話し合って正式名称が決まるのでどのような名称になるのか乞うご期待です。また動画なども、後日皆様に公開できたらと考えています。しばしお待ちください。
Geoff先生が当日の状況を英語でレポートしてくださいました。ぜひご覧ください。
The first Gavel club (Junior Toastmasters) in Japan starts at our school!
Following the recommendation from Ms. Lena Ikeda, a student of our school who attends Toastmasters International, we started a youth club at our school. Toastmasters is an international organization that has a large number of clubs all over the world. There, members hone their presentation skills. It is very similar to TED talks and in actual fact, a number of TED talks speakers are members.
We had our first club meeting on Friday the 30th of September when 18 of the above members so professionally presented their speeches. Although, this was the first general meeting, the members are divided into smaller subgroups and practice tirelessly under the supervision of Mr. Toyama and Geoff. And you will also notice that there are some other members. That’s right teachers are also members; Mr. Shimokawa, Mr. Tofukuji and Mr. Ogata. In the Gavel club, we all learn together side-by-side how to best improve our presentation skills while at the same time having a great time.
Last Friday, Ms. Yuki Muramatsu, President of Sunrise Toastmasters International (left), observed our general meeting and expressed her amazement at the performance of our members. Then, on the following Saturday, Sunrise Toastmasters International agreed to sponsor our club officially. We are so glad to be members of such a renowned organization. Our club, which has around 27 members is now also the first Gavel Club in Japan! We will endeavor to become world class presenters.
Watch this space, because things are about to get very interesting.
