Oral+Presentation

Hello there. Just a reminder that your **Holiday homework** is to research, plan and present an **oral** on the theme of Justice. Your presentation will need to last between **3 and 5 minutes.** You have been given a list of choices but are able to put forward your own suggestion.

Remember that content, structure and langauge will contribute to half of your grades.

Overall presentation, body language, diction (use of voice) and prompts will make up the rest of your grade. Prompts includes cue cards, Power Point Presentation, Posters etc. If you open the 'Oral Presentation Criteria Sheet' you will see the total grade you can recieve is 20 marks.

There are certain things you can do in order to help you prepare for the talk. Remember to rehearse your material, speak loudly and confidently. Provide relevant material to support your contention. (point of view.) It is important that you incorporate evidence into your speech. For more information take a few minutes to peruse the link titled ' How to prepare for your Oral Presentation.'

I have also provided you with samples of what I consider to be great speeches and some not so great.

You will be presenting your **Oral Presentation on Friday April 29th, 2011.** Remember this is an assessment task - so if you are absent on the day, you will need a medical certificate if you wish to complete the task.

'Who will present first?' I hear you asking. All of you must be prepared on the day. You will be issued with a raffle ticket. Lowest number first. Good luck.
