Out of this World - Level 4 Sample Unit
In this activity, each group uses presentation software to develop an oral
presentation (4–6 slides) or a multimedia booth
presentation. The purpose of the presentation is for students to demonstrate
their knowledge and understanding about the solar system and ICT.
With students, teachers discuss and develop a rubric
for assessing the content and use of ICT in the presentations.
Preparing the presentation
Teachers discuss with students:
- the dual purposes of promotion and information
- the language that would suit the purpose, audience and content
- the kinds of graphics that may be necessary or appealing for the presentation.
Each group plans their presentation, for example, using a storyboard, to
indicate headings, images, text, any relevant sounds and major points of information
throughout. Each member is designated a role in both developing and delivering
the presentation.
Groups present their plan for discussion and review with the teacher and
then create their presentation. They practise presentations for time and effectiveness
and obtain feedback from ‘critical friends’.
