But don't worry, this is already the 4th quarter - the last quarter. So yeah, all we need to do is to give our best and learn from our past mistakes. I decided to split the list of requirements into projects and HWs.

Homeworks and tasks (January 08, 2011)

Chemistry
The "World Without Polymers" essay paper is due on Monday, this week. 3-5 pages, 1.5 spacing, Times New Roman font, size 12.

Biology
Research for the Group Project(?)

Environmental Science
The presentations will start this coming Tuesday, January 11, 2011(Wow! Lucky!). Each group will given a MINIMUM of 15 mins. and a MAXIMUM of 25 mins. After the presentations, there will be a quiz about each. The group will provide the quiz for their assigned topic.

Take a bullet straight through my brain..

Group 2 in Envi. Sci.

What is this?: Our plans and outlines for our presentation about Hydroelectric Energy.
When is it?: Most probably Thursday, this week. 
Who are we?: I (Mark), Victor, Monchai, Kitkat, and Josh.

Assignments:

• Definition --> Monchai
• Examples --> Monchai
• Mechanism --> Victor
• Before and After the discovery and development of Hydroelectric Energy --> Josh
• Advantages/Disadvantages --> Kitkat

Outline:

I. Definition

• What (is Hydroelectric Energy? <--- summarized)
• When (was it discovered/first developed?)
• Where (was it discovered/first developed?)
• Who (was the first one who discovered/developed it?)
• Why (was it developed/discovered?; OR; why do we need it?)
• How (was it developed/discovered?; OR; does it help us?)

II. Mechanism
A few points about this one:

• use simpler words
• not too wordy
• summarize, as much as possible
• AVOID plagiarism
• paraphrase, if necessary
• use bullet format (we're using PowerPoint)
• arrange in a chronological order (e.g.: 1. This happens first.. 2. Then this... 3. Then that... and so on.)

III. Examples 

A. Philippines (focus on our country)

• name of the hydroelectric power plant; location
• name of another hydroelectric power plant; location
• ..and so on and so forth.

B. (another country, preferably USA)

• name of the hydroelectric power plant; location
• name of another hydroelectric power plant; location
• ..and so on and so forth.

C. (another country)

• ...
• ...
• ...

A few points about this one:

• use AT LEAST 3 countries, with AT LEAST 2 power plants, including locations

IV. Advantages/Disadvantages

A. Advantages

• ...
• ...
• ...

B. Disadvantages

• ...
• ...
• ...

A few points about this one:

• AT LEAST 3 on each topic
• summarize
• AVOID plagiarism
• paraphrase, if necessary

V. Before and After the discovery and the development of Hydroelectrical Energy

A. Before

• ...
• ...
• ...

B. After

• ...
• ...
• ...

A few points about this one:

• AT LEAST 3 on each topic
• summarize
• AVOID plagiarism
• paraphrase, if necessary

VI. Links and Resources

• this link/resource;
• that link/resource;
• ..and so on and so forth.

VII. Quiz! >:)

1. Question no. 1
2. Question no. 2
3. Question no. 3
4. ..and so on and so forth.

Just a few more words..:

• Why summarize? First, remember that we're doing a PowerPoint presentation. It would be hard for our audiences to see what we are reporting if we use a paragraph format. Second, we only need to focus on the basic and important facts. Lastly, we don't have that much time, and remember that there is still a quiz. For some tips and hints on how to summarize stuff in a PowerPoint presentation, I suggest that you look at some PowerPoint presentations that Ma'am Dacs made.
• Aside from PowerPoint, we are going to provide our fellow classmates flyers and handouts, so that they need not to copy anymore. 
• PASS YOUR RESEARCH PAPERS ON OR BEFORE MONDAY, TO THE FOLLOWING E-MAILs: (Mark's:) gula.markjayson@gmail.com; gula.markjayson@yahoo.com; (Victor's:) victorlatios@yahoo.com. You must pass your research paper/s to at least one of MY e-mails, AND to Vivi's e-mail.
• 3 G's... Good luck, Godspeed, and God bless! :D
