What a busy, busy term for Room 19 UHPS! Our big focuses are: PrEp (forming and developing businesses, and selling products and services on Market Day), Speeches and our Keeping Ourselves Safe study. We are still collecting products for the Gala, particularly products for our "Berry Nice" hamper. We will keep adding to our Blog this term, so visit often and see all our updates. Have fun! :-)
In Term 2, we began learning how to present information using Keynote and Powerpoint computer programmes. We are sharing them this term too. We learnt that we should not be facing the board and reading out our presentations. We should be facing the audience and teaching them and answering their questions. This means we need to understand the material well. Here are our Success Criteria for good presentations.
Success Criteria for Keynote/Powerpoint presentations:
Write facts, not opinions
Write short notes on the main facts, because you will verbalise the details
Proofread to check for mistakes, get someone else to proofread as well
Add pictures, diagrams and maps to help audience learn
Add an email address or a way to contact the presenter
Understand your information thoroughly!!!!!!!!!! (including the meaning of every word). You WILL be asked questions
Answer all questions in a friendly, positive way
Make eye contact with your audience and scan across them
Don't read it out, take brief looks, then face audience to explain to them
We have been doing such a FANTASTIC job that Miss White thinks there is no point her being in the class. She thinks from now on she can just spend her week in the staffroom reading magazines and drinking coffee and us kids can just teach each other! :-)
