Day 38: Presentation Day One

lesson objectives:

• Gain experience in academic presentations
• Learn through observation of peer's presentations
• Provide and receive  feedback from peers on your performance

Here is a breakdown of the presentation process:
1) Presenter presents 5-7 minutes
2) Audience listens attentively// Presenter is being filmed
3) Student ends presentation  
4) Applause and presenter leaves room for 3-5 min
5) Collaborate in groups to provide feedback  and generate questions (Audience Tasks 1 & 2)
6) Write anonymous written feedback for the presenter (Audience Task 3)
7) Presenter reenters, Q&A takes place and teacher provides brief feedback. 

Examples of questions the audience can ask:

1.       A question that is outside the topic area

2.       A vague question

3.       A hostile question that challenges the speaker

4.       A mumbled question

5.       A statement (not a question at all!)

*At the very end of the unit, students will be given the written feedback and scores from both the audience and teacher.

Part III: Gather  Feedback

This can be done either at the end of each presenter or on the end of the class. The teacher simply goes around and collects all the student feedback and organizes them according to presenter. (I used four colored papers to keep the presenters organized. You can also just stress that they need to put the name of the presenter!)  Remind the student that they should NOT write their name on the feedback. Explain that formal feedback will be given to them on the last day and that their video will be uploaded into your folders. Please watch it!
