-good organization; beginning, development, close.

-outstanding English.

-interaction.

-communicative skills.

-assertiveness

-current topic.

Later my friend Nicole started her presentation about

"Dealing with the end's of the year stress"

Nicole focused on explaining how to cope with tearcher's and student's stress.

At the end she made the following question: In what way does the end of the year's stress affect your classroom and how can you cope with it?

I consider this was a very good question to make because almost everyone in this class is finishing his/her teaching practice and stress is an important factor to take into consideration when the end of the academic year is arriving. In my situation, students are pretty tired and do not want to work in any subject. They look unmotivated and getting their attention is really hard. What I do is to prepare more active lessons, which require more group participation and I make more fun games. At the moment is working.

Nicole made a good presentation, she was nervous but I know she devoted many hours to prepare it. She manage the topic and the whole class was engaged.

The second presentation of the day was carried out by Katherine. She introduced her topic with the following statement "femicide is not fashionable" which it was a very good starting. Katherine talked about how Fes advertisement is encouraging femicides through a very shocking campaing.

In terms of her presentation, she did a very good job. Her presentation had clear organization stages and she managed the topic very well.

As a conclusion I consider that this kind of ads are giving a contradicting message; for some people it can be a way to create an awareness but for some other the massage can be wrong delayed, becuase someone may understand that you may be killing, hitting or commiting femicide against your partner you still will look fashionable. Or your partner is hitting you but hey, you still look fashionable.
