Video — I Won't Give Up (Jayesslee Cover of Jason Mraz)

I Won't Give Up (Jayesslee Cover of Jason Mraz)
Jayesslee is the artist who sang the Gangnam Style cover we watched before. Jayesslee means J S Lee. Their names are Janice (Jay for J) and Sonia (Ess for S) and their last name is Lee. I love their harmonies. It must have been difficult to perform this on one take at the beach.

See the lyrics below the video.

I Won't Give Up

Jason Mraz

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space, to do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting, to see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not and who I am

I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up

Video — Mission Impossible (The Piano Guys featuring Lindsey Stirling)

We watched the Piano Guys play Mission Impossible, a popular TV show turned into a movie series. This time they were joined by another YouTube star, Lindsey Stirling. She is known for playing violin while dancing. Enjoy it again below:

Lesson 5 – Voice Inflection

Voice Inflection
We also looked at the Speaking of Speech textbook and learned about the voice inflection and about bad postures to avoid. Finally, we looked at a model Demonstration Speech on the DVD. Next week you will give a Demonstration Speech about how to make your favorite dish. You will need to use  Google Slides  for your presentation. See the steps below.




Demonstration Speech Presentation
Use the storyboard handout from class to prepare the steps for your Demonstration Speech.

Your speech will have six steps. For each step, you will have …

1. a full-sized photograph.
2. an instruction.
3. a warning.
4. a gesture.
5. one or more voice inflections.

Your slideshow should also have a title slide and a final slide with your presentation title and your name. To make the final slide, make a copy of your title slide (8 total slides).

Do not use small images. Fill the slide!


Presentation Slides
You need to share your slides with me before you come to class next week.

1. Go to Google Drive.
2. From the New button on the top left, choose Google Slides.
3. Give the title your full name + 19F EP + Demonstration Speech (eg. Taro Suzuki 19F EP Demonstration Speech).
4. Click the Share button and write my Rikkyo address. (You can continue to make changes after you share.)
5. Finish your slides before class and be ready to present. Due 10/27 23:59. You can share your slides now and continue working on them until the class.

Your slides should be photographs from your camera or phone. Use full-size images. You can only use text to label your ingredients. 
No sentences!



There is a 3-minute time limit for your presentation. Be sure to practice many times with your gestures and voice inflection! Watch the DVD again for a good example.

Informative Speech
For each speaker, give feedback using the form link below.

Feedback Form

Here are some things to consider when giving feedback:

5. Parts
   Does the speaker introduce the topic? Does the speaker talk about each of see, do, eat, getting around? Does the speaker review the points at the end?

Voice Inflection
We learned about how to change your voice (textbook pp. 28-29). Next week we will practice voice inflection.

Video — Cello Wars (Star Wars parody by The Piano Guys on YouTube)

The Piano Guys are my favorite YouTube artists. They have great music AND great videos. This one is a parody of my favorite movie from my childhood, Star Wars. Now people call it Episode IV (4) or A New Hope, but it was Star Wars to us when it came out. It wasn't until the stupid prequels (Episodes I, II & III) years later that those names were used.

The ideas of lightsabers, fighting ships flying across the screen, laser guns and The Force were all new and very cool. Star Wars was the first real blockbuster movie. If you wanted to see it when it came out, you might have had to wait hours and there were no reserved seats back then. It stayed in the cinemas for over a year.

I have included a modern trailer of the movie below the Piano Guys video. The original trailer was not very good. Enjoy!
