Poster Presentation Digital Scrapbooks for Basic Presentations more

In My Life New Edition by Matthew Taylor and myself (Nellie’s Publishing) is a scrapbook-based presentation and oral communication textbook for student-centered teaching and learning. Based on motivation and engagement principles explained by John Dewey and Zoltán Dörnyei. The coursebook centers around students creating scrapbook pages about their life to give presentations or as something to spark conversations. Paper scrapbooks can be used, or digital visual aids with apps like PowerPoint/Keynote/Google Slides, digital photos stored on computers, tablets, or smartphones, or a hybrid paper/digital format such as creating the scrapbook page on paper scrapbooks for classroom small group work and then taking a digital photo or series of photos projected on a screen for presentations performed in front of the whole class. This project has also been used in conjunction with Zoom in Breakout Rooms. In addition to explaining the digital formats described above, the structure of a unit, a list of the activities in one unit, and a sample syllabus covering the whole year are described on the poster Dewey, J.
