Guidelines for CSL presentations:

Here are some content points to remember for your talks..

1.    Include background details/material on the organizers / organizations responsible for the conference and on the groups that participated. (Intro)
 
2.    Discus the benefits of volunteering and possible how this has developed in the UAE (history) –  Why is volunteering important in the UAE historically?

3.    Discuss the benefits that you (each speaker) gained & provided from the experience

4.    Possibly, touch on how this experience has changed your view of ‘special needs’ 
people, and how it will affect your future perceptions.

5.    Anything else you think is relevant to the presentation.

  Use your blog photos and posts to create a supporting PowerPoint slide show (you should not have more than 10 slides OR more than  Total!). Each person should speak for 4-6 minutes each (maximum 8 mins).

Gentlemen & Ms Fatima / Welcome Back!!









Gentlemen & Ms Fatima:

 Welcome back to reality after your community service sessions. We will be starting classes once again on 25 Nov. (yes I’ll take attendance). 

We need to clarify the final assessments BEFORE the National Day break to get you working on these (i.e. b/logs; final presentations and reflections) since we will have a short 2 weeks thereafter to finish ALL your assignments before 18 Dec. and the start of your winter break. 

Yas Volunteers:  I will need to see your Yas schedules this week BEFORE Thursday Otherwise I can’t observe you in action which affects your final marks! And get your MOB# !!
