LA1 focused on techniques for descriptive writing such as using figurative language to write vividly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

We’re working hard here in LA4! Today we tackled persuasive essays– essays in which we take one side of an argument that we are passionate about. Students chose what issue they want to address, from remote vs. in-person learning to mandatory dress codes to whether people should travel to outer space. With thesis-building, outlining, structuring, arguing, and providing evidence, we’re covering a LOT. That’s the SIJ way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Computer Science (CS) course overview<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

 In CS1, we learned about binary, boolean logic, and worked on some fun programs with sprites, costumes, and movements in Snap!, a blocks-based programming language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CS2 is teaching extensions to the standard CS1 curriculum, exposing students to more advanced concepts such as implementing mathematical functions and recursion. The work is challenging, but everyone is definitely putting their best foot forward and working through the advanced concepts. At the same time, they are creating complicated games, programs, and animations for the end of the week, using features such as broadcasting and anchors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Public Speaking (PS) course overview<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Ellen Degeneres\u2019 Oscar Speech helped learning a lot about public speaking today \u2013 we all are aiming to be like her, with joyful tone and complete control of the show. We now have many presentation tools such as signposting and the use of voice. We instructors are so happy to see how enthusiastic our students are, and so excited for their final speeches!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

19 students gathered at Kunisaki to learn English writing and public speaking from us.  We had a super fun time teaching students important aspects of public speaking: having a loud voice, maintaining eye contact, and having confidence.  The students picked up the lessons quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The 4th Outreach Educational Program \u201cSWIM\u201d (Summer Workshop for Immersive Multiculturalism)
Free English lesson with Harvard College students in Oita City, Japan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Team Harvard gave a lesson on public speaking to some students from Oita city! Each instructor managed a General Incorporated Association Oita Prefecture Labor Welfare Center group of around 15-20 kids. We gave them some notes on how to improve their short speeches that some of them got to present in front of everyone while keeping in mind important elements of public speaking (eye contact, loud voice, confidence, gestures, articulation, etc.). All students did such a great job in just two hours and we instructors are so proud!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
