Tuesday 22 (2 periods) 6 & 7 DIY - Infographic

Friday 25 (2 periods) 8 Oral Presentation

GUIDELINES

1. Topics must be individual (different for each group).

2. Each girl must present her instructional writing.

3. Everyone must participate in the activity.

4. All due dates must be met.

5. All questions must be addressed with your English teacher.

6. The material must be created in class.

7. Preparation is the key to giving an effective presentation and to controlling your

nervousness. Know your topic well. You will be the expert on the topic in the classroom.

Good preparation and the realization that you are the expert will boost your self-

confidence. After your research, you will find that you know much more about your topic

than you will have time to present. That is a good thing. It will allow you to compose a good

introduction, to distill out the main, most important points that need to be made, and to finish

with a strong conclusion.

• Know your topic (become an expert)

• Learn as much about the topic as you can to boost your self-confidence

• Prepare an outline of topic. Bullet or number the main points

• Write out your presentation if you need to organize your thoughts, but then

outline this text for the actual presentation.

7. The infographic must be included to enhance your presentation.

• Keep visual aids simple and uncluttered.

• Use color and contrast for emphasis but use them in moderation

• Use a font large enough to be seen from the back of the room

• The pictures must be yours

Important! The infographic must be sent by google classroom to your

teacher at least 24 hours in advance of your presentation.

8. You need to practice giving your presentation to yourself. Speak out loud and time

yourself. Practice using your visual aids. It is absolutely important that you calculate your

time limit. Your goal is to inform, not overwhelm. In this case, less can be more.

9. To deliver your presentation you will have to overcome your nervousness and deal with room

conditions. Good preparation should allay most of your nervousness; realizing that everyone

feels nervous before a presentation should also help. Be prepared for something to go

wrong and have a backup plan.
