APLE 1 PRESENTATIONS

As part of your final marks this term, you will have to give an oral presentation to the rest of the class about a topic of your choice: a sport, a film, a book, a country, a trip, a band, a TV series, a brand-name, a star... 

Your presentation must take between 5-10 minutes and it should have some visual or audiovisual support.

It is very important that you follow the tips below: 

Oral Presentations: Do's & Don'ts

1. Be organized! The more organized and focused your presentation is, the more relaxed you'll feel.
2. Breathe! (It helps you relax.)
3. Don't try to cover too much material. Remember you only have 5-10 minutes.
4. Don't overwrite your visual presentation. Remember this is an oral presentation.
5. Do speak clearly, slowly and at an appropriate level for your audience.
6. Use vocabulary that is appropriate for your audience. If you use new vocabulary, make sure you explain it and write it on the board.
7. Do make eye contact with all members of your audience.
8. Do move around.
9. Do use hand gestures.
10. Do allow the audience to ask questions at the end of your presentation.
11. Don't read your presentation. You can use short notes, but reading a presentation is unnatural; also, it makes it very difficult for your audience to follow.
12. Do practice your presentation with a partner or in front of the mirror.
13. Do remember to thank your audience.

Read through these guidelines, too.
You will be evaluated by your classmates as well as by your teacher on this Peer Evaluation Sheet.
