NOTE: This is the chance to update your work. Seize the day!!!** **Remember we are in Week 8, last week to drop out!!!**


 * ==Objectives== || By the end of Week 8, students will have:
 * finished pending activities from previous weeks (last chance)
 * prepared script and visual aids to present their RSTT on Monday (Week 9)
 * prepared to take notes and summarize another student's RSTT to add information to their wikis ||

**Research-Show-Tell-Task (8 pts)**

 * Show and tell** is the process of showing an audience something and telling them about it. It is usually done in a classroom. It is an educational technique for helping people practice the skills of [|public speaking]. In our particular context, it is considered a short informal oral presentation aided by visuals using the web and the computer.
 * Students will search the web for varied topics dealing with what we have discussed so far (Color, Light, Texture, Rhythm, Acoustics, Vertical and Horizontal Circulation). The idea is to review vocabulary and content that can be used to describe their projects (Diseño and Taller).
 * The idea of this RSTT is that students explain to the class the kind of project they are doing in their Design (architects) and Taller (urban planners) classes including information pertinent to the topics we have discussed so far.
 * Students will present their Design Project to the class in **NO MORE than 5 MINUTES.** Students can bring their plans, models, perspectives, facades, sections, elevations, etc as visual aids, but some kind of electronic support is highly recommended (slide shots, photoblog, for example)
 * Presentations will take place on the first day of Week 9, so be prepared to be in class. **This event __WILL NOT__ repeat!**
 * **It is a good idea to post your RSTT Scripts in Moodle this week (Week 8) so that the teacher can correct your text before you do the presentation on Monday (Week 9).**
 * If you are not taking Taller nor Design this trimester, you could speak about any project you have done before.

Writing 2 (3 pts)/Week 9 (Monday)
While presenters are doing their Show & Tell, the audience will be taking notes on the presentations. At the end, students in the audience will select (1) of the presentations, write a summary of it using the third person singular (he, she) and post it in a new wiki page named RSTT __after it has been corrected in the corresponding Forum in MOODLE__. Your summaries on the RSTT must include all aspects dealing with the project presented and discussed by your classmate.


 * What do I present in my RSTT?**

I have to look for something to take for Show-and-Tell. Where is my new baseball bat or snapping turtle shell? I know I saw my horseshoe in here somewhere yesterday Along with my harmonica, but where, I couldn't say. I'd thank my lucky stars if I could find my telescope, my kite, or model airplane, but I don't believe there's hope. I've got it! I know what to take! Oh, this will be so cool! Scruffy, come on, follow me; you get to go to school!
