Make a 5-10 minute presentation based on page 25 F in your textbook. Here is the background for your presentation and some information about preparing a PPT and delivering a presentation using PPT.
Prepare 5 slides for your presentation. They don't need to be elaborate (fancy). Save time and keep them simple.
Slide #1: title page (title, name)
Slide #2: introduction and outline
Slide #3: outcome
Slide #4: prevention
Slide #5: conclusion
Technical points for your slides
1. suitable sized font - 24 point minimum?
2. keep text to a minimum - too much text on the slide is NG. Points or single words only (no full sentences). Max 3 or 4 lines?
3. check English - spelling and grammar - this is a MUST
Delivering your presentation
1. Look up at your audience and look around at all of us.
2. Speak loudly and clearly. The projector for the screen is noisy, so make sure to speak loudly enough.
3. Do not speak too quickly. Add longer pauses between phrases and sentences than you think. When you present, you are usually nervous, which makes you speak more quickly. Slow down!
4. Look at us - DO NOT LOOK AT THE SCREEN. You have the screen in front of you and behind you. Do not look at the screen hanging from the ceiling.
5. You may use a sheet of paper, but you must hold it in your hands and not read it continually.
6. Practise! This is a must. You must get comfortable with your materials, with standing and talking, and with using good presentation style.
Use the vocabulary in this chapter and the presentation techniques we covered so far, including getting the audience's attention (p. 22), which you will do in the introduction to our presentation. Other techniques we discussed are clear expressions (p. 2), good posture, etc. (p. 12), and making transitions (p. 17).
This presentation is worth 10% of your final grade. Prepare and practice well and let's enjoy the presentations.
