Lesson video

Hi everyone.

My name is Ms. Voyle and I am really excited to be teaching you this lesson where you will be presenting your persuasive advert on the chocolates energy ball.

For this lesson, you need to be listening and looking carefully.

There will be lots of speaking involved and you will need your persuasive advert that you have created over the course of this unit.

I hope you're feeling excited and ready to learn.

Let's get started.

The learning outcome for today's lesson is I can present a persuasive advert.

Here are our keywords.

Let's practise saying them.

My turn, your turn.

Oral presentation, projection, diction, body language, intonation.

Well done.

Let's take a look at their definitions.

An oral presentation is a speech or talk in which a new product idea or piece of work is shown and explained to an audience.

Projection is using our voice to speak powerfully and clearly.

Diction involves pronouncing words clearly.

Body language refers to how we use our posture and gestures to communicate meaning and feelings, and intonation refers to variation in pitch through the rise and fall of a person's voice.

There are three parts to today's lesson.

In the first part, we will be preparing for an oral presentation by looking at important techniques.

In the second part, you will be preparing to present your own persuasive advert, and in the final part, you will be presenting your advert.

So let's begin with preparing for an oral presentation.

An oral presentation is a speech or talk in which a new product idea or piece of work is shown and explained to an audience.

The product that you are presenting is the chocolate energy ball.

Your target audience is other children.

This means that the people you are trying to make the chocolates energy ball appeal to is other children.

You'll use your persuasive advert to inform your presentation.

For an oral presentation, we need to consider the following volume and projection.

This means the quantity or power of sound pace.

This means the speed at which we speak.

Diction, this means the pronunciation of words clearly.

Eye contact.

This refers to looking into the eyes of the audience, body language, the use of posture and gestures to communicate.

And tone and intonation, the pitch of a voice and variation to differentiate between words or emphasise certain words.

Our volume and level of projection should be powerful and clear when presenting.

Projection is very important because our audience needs to be able to hear what we are saying.

The level of projection we use depends on the space we are speaking in, so how big the room is, and the size of the audience within it.

When projecting our voices, we need to use deep breaths and use the muscles in our stomach to help us speak so the audience can hear us.

Now, the important thing to note here is that projecting our voice is not the same as shouting.

Let's check your understanding.

Projection involves A, using the stomach muscles when speaking.

B, shouting.

C, speaking in a high-pitched voice.

Or D, taking breaths before speaking.

Pause the video and select your answers now.

The answers are A and D.

Using the stomach muscles when speaking and taking deep breaths before speaking.

Pace refers to the speed at which we speak.

Presenting at an appropriate pace is crucial for ensuring the audience remain engaged and understand us.

If we speak too quickly, our audience may not be able to clearly hear what we are saying.

If we speak too slowly, our audience may lose interest in what we are saying.

Successful presenters speak at a slow clear pace so that everyone can hear them.

Speaking at a slow and clear pace also supports diction.

Diction involves pronouncing words clearly.

Diction is very important because our audience needs to be able to understand what we are saying.

When speaking with clear diction, we take our time to pronounce our words carefully.

Clear diction is important for the following.

In our persuasive advert, subject specific vocabulary in our advert that will be words like nutrients, carbohydrates, linguistic techniques, especially those considered as tongue twisters.

Tongue twisters are phrases that are difficult to say because they involve alliteration like tasty, tantalising, treat.

Sometimes people get their tongue a bit twisted and muddled and it can be hard to get the phrases out.

Speaking with clear diction can help you when presenting and orally saying phrases like this, let's check your understanding.

Speaking at an appropriate pace and with clear diction is important because: A, it helps the audience understand the words we are saying.

B, it helps us slow down and pronounce tricky words correctly.

C, it helps to make the audience like us.

Pause the video and select your answers now.

The answers are A and B.

Well done.

It helps the audience understand the words we are saying and it helps us pronounce tricky words.

Eye contact and body language are very important as well when presenting because they help us connect with our audience.

You'll notice that I look at you and make eye contact while teaching and I use body movement to show expression.

Making eye contact involves looking into the eyes of the people in our audience.

This allows the audience to feel connected to us.

This is a key persuasive technique because it leads the audience to be more engaged and interested in what we are saying.

Body language refers to how we use our posture, which means how we stand and gestures.

So you might use your hands while you speak to communicate meaning and feelings.

It helps us to look confident and like we believe in what we are saying.

Confidence is important for persuasion because we need to show that we believe in the product we are selling so that the potential consumer believes in it too.

How can we use eye contact appropriately to support persuasion? Now, this is important.

We need to make eye contact while we are speaking and we need to make eye contact with a range of people in the audience by changing the direction of your gaze and that involves glancing around the room at the different people in there.

How can we use body language appropriately to support persuasion? We show confidence through posture, so that means standing straight with our shoulders back and we can use gestures and movement to accompany persuasive points with warmth and enthusiasm.

Let's check your understanding.

Eye contact and body language are important for delivering an oral presentation persuasively.

True or false? Pause the video and answer now That is true.

Well done, but can you justify your answer? A, eye contact helps us connect with our audience and body language can communicate confidence in what we are selling.

Or B, eye contact helps us connect with our audience because it involves looking around the room as we are speaking.

Pause the video and select your justification now.

The answer is A.

Well done.

This justification gave us a reason for how eye contact and body language support us delivering an oral presentation persuasively.

It helps us connect with our audience and communicate confidence.

A varied use of tone and intonation can increase persuasion.

When delivering an oral presentation, tone refers to the pitch of our voice.

It is important to use a tone which communicates enthusiasm and confidence to keep the audience engaged.

Intonation refers to variation in pitch through the rise and full of a person's voice, but she wouldn't do it as dramatically as that, but this can be used to communicate meaning and emphasis.

You can use intonation to make your pitch rise or fall slightly to emphasise words.

Intonation is particularly powerful for emphasising and communicating linguistic techniques that you have designed to persuade.

For example, let's think about that slogan, once eaten, never beaten.

Now we could just say "Once eaten, never beaten," but we know that there are two key words in that slogan, the rhyming words, eaten and beaten.

So I might want to use intonation to emphasise those words.

I might want to say, once eaten never beaten and you will hear how my pitch changed.

Or for champion chocolate chews, this is use of alliteration.

I might want to really emphasise the CH sound, Champion Chocolate Chew.

Why is tone and intonation important when delivering an oral presentation? Let's check your understanding.

A, using a warm and enthusiastic tone keeps the audience engaged.

B, your tone and intonation helps the audience understand you.

C, it can be used to communicate meaning and emphasis or D, it makes the presentation funny for the audience.

Pause the video and select your answers now.

The answers are A and C.

Using a warm and enthusiastic tone keeps the audience engaged and it can be used to communicate meaning and emphasis.

Well done.

It is time for a task.

Match the key aspects of successful oral presentation to their impact.

So the aspects we have are volume and projection, pace and diction, eye contact and body language, and tone and intonation.

And the impacts are: appropriate speed and pronunciation ensures the audience understands us.

Speaking powerfully ensures all of the audience can hear us.

Using warmth, enthusiasm, and variation to emphasise is persuasive and looking at the audience in the eye supports connection and gestures communicate warmth and confidence.

Pause the video and match these now.

Welcome back.

Let's go over the answers.

Volume and projection Speaking powerfully ensures all of the audience can hear us Pace and diction.

While appropriate, speed and pronunciation ensures the audience understands us.

Eye contact and body language.

Looking at the audience in the eye supports connection and gestures, communicate warmth and confidence.

And tone and intonation.

Using warmth, enthusiasm, and variation to emphasise is persuasive.

Well done.

It's now time for the second part of our lesson where you will be preparing yourself to present.

Reading over our persuasive adverts helps to prepare ourselves for delivering our presentation persuasively.

We can do the following things.

Identify words and phrases that are difficult to pronounce or considered tongue twisters and orally rehearse saying them.

We can identify words or phrases that we would like to emphasise or deliver in a specific way for persuasive effect and practise this.

Identifying these things and rehearsing them prior to presentation will allow us to focus on other aspects while delivering our presentation.

For example, projection, eye contact, body language.

If, while delivering your presentation, you are having to spend lots of time figuring out how to pronounce words or how to deliver it, you wouldn't have as much space in your mind to think about all of the important elements of presenting.

Let's check your understanding.

Which words or phrases should I identify and rehearse when preparing to present my persuasive advert? A, words that are difficult to pronounce.

B, phrases that are considered tongue twisters.

C, my favourite pieces of vocabulary.

D, words or phrases I want to emphasise or deliver in a specific way.

Pause the video and select your answers now.

the answers are: A, words that are difficult to pronounce.

B, phrases that are considered tongue twisters.

And D, words or phrases I want to emphasise or deliver in a specific way.

Well done.

It's time for your task.

Reread your persuasive advert.

Circle any words that you find difficult to pronounce and orally rehearse saying them.

Underline any words or phrases you would like to emphasise using tone and intonation and practise doing this in the way that you would like to deliver it.

Pause the video and do the task now.

Well done everybody.

You did some fantastic oral rehearsing of your persuasive adverts.

Let's take a look at an example of how we could identify the tricky words or the words we want to emphasise.

So here we have "These tantalising treats are packed full of nutrient-rich ingredients and coated in the creamiest milk chocolate so that you can enjoy the best of both worlds every day.

If you are looking for a delicious treat that is healthy and sweet, the energy bouncing ball will be right up your street." Okay, so I know there are a few big words in here that I want to make sure I pronounce really clearly and carefully.

"Tantalising treats" is definitely a phrase I want to circle.

Tantalising can be quite a tricky word to say, and that phrase involves alliteration, so it's a bit tongue twisty.

Then subject specific vocabulary, really important.

"Nutrient rich ingredients." I need to make sure I pronounce that clearly.

Nutrient rich ingredients.

Okay.

What all in that last sentence, I have rhyming words, "Treat sweet and street." Now those words aren't tricky to say, but I want to use emphasis on these words, so I might, okay, let me practise that last sentence.

"If you are looking for a delicious treat that is healthy and sweet, the energy bouncing ball will be right up your streets." Okay, I might want to practise that a few more times, but I want to make sure that the majority of the sentence is said in the same tone, but I shift my tone slightly for those rhyming words.

Well done.

I am sure you are feeling nice and ready to present your persuasive advert next.

It's time for the most exciting part of the lesson.

What we have been practising for presenting a persuasive advert.

The opening of your oral presentation needs to be highly persuasive and hook the audience, which means grab their attention and keep it.

You will need to do the following.

Share the headline and name of the product.

Share a visual of the product that appeals to the potential consumer.

Ask the rhetorical question from your opening.

Now, it will be really important to pause after you've asked this to make sure that the potential consumer has a moment to think about the rhetorical question you asked.

Remember, rhetorical questions are posed in order to provoke thought from others, and you will need to deliver your follow-up statement in a really persuasive way.

It is also okay to ad-lib slightly to give the delivery of your presentation a more natural feel.

For example, rather than just showing a picture of the energy ball, you might say the following, "I present to you the energy bouncing ball.

Or feast your eyes upon this nutritious nibble." These sentences aren't in your advert, but in order to deliver the presentation effectively orally, you may need to add in some phrases, words, or sentences.

I am going to model presenting the beginning of a persuasive advert on the energy ball to you.

Pay attention to how I use the following aspects of successful oral presentation, volume and projection, pace and diction, eye contact and body language, and tone and intonation.

Hello everyone and welcome.

I am so pleased you have joined me today because I am delighted to present to you the new and unique chocolatey but nutritious snack: energy bouncing balls.

Do you love chocolate and want to be healthy? These chocolates covered nutritious balls will have your taste buds bouncing with joy and your body bouncing with energy.

So I asked you to pay attention to how I used the following aspects of successful oral presentation: volume and projection, pace and diction, eye contact and body language, and tone and intonation.

How did I use these aspects? Pause the video and discuss with your partner now.

You guys were great at spotting how I used these aspects to support my oral presentation.

Let's go over them together now.

I spoke at an appropriate volume and I used projection.

I made sure I was using those stomach muscles to project my voice so that it was loud and clear enough for the audience.

I went at a slow pace that supported clear diction.

Now that was really important because if I went too quickly, I definitely would've stumbled on my words.

But going slowly enough allowed me to pronounce my words clearly and not to make mistakes.

I looked at you while presenting, even though there were moments that I needed to look down at my persuasive advert, I glanced and then looked back up at the audience to make that eye contact and form a connection with them and I used a warm tone to deliver my presentation because I wanted the audience to feel welcome and I varied my intonation.

For example, I used a rising intonation for my rhetorical question and I emphasised certain really appealing phrases or words.

Well done for spotting these.

I am now going to model presenting the main body of text from my persuasive advert on the energy ball to you.

I will finish my presentation by delivering the slogan.

I will continue to use all aspects of successful oral presentation, but I would like you to focus on how and when I achieve the following ad-lib for a more natural delivery.

Are there parts that I deliver in a more emotive or a more factual way? And emphasis and suspense lets me tell you how these energy bouncing balls can make you happy and healthy.

These tantalising treats are packed full of nutrient rich ingredients and coated in the creamiest milk chocolate so that you can enjoy the best of both worlds every day.

If you are looking for a delicious treat that is healthy and sweet, the energy bouncing ball will be right up your street.

Despite its indulgent and chocolatey taste, 80% of the nutritious nibble is made up of ingredients such as oats, nuts, and dried fruits.

These ingredients contain healthy fats, protein and carbohydrates, rich in fibre.

It gives you energy, builds your muscles and supports your digestive system so that you can be the happiest and healthiest you.

Once eaten, never beaten.

So I ask you to pay attention to how I use the following aspects: ad-lib for a more natural delivery, emotive the factual delivery and emphasis and suspense.

How do you think I use these aspects? Pause the video and discuss now.

Let's go over the different ways in which I use these aspects.

I introduced the happy and healthy section with a full natural sentence.

This involved ad-libbing because on my persuasive advert it's just said happy and healthy.

I delivered paragraph one with an emotive emphasis on the taste and hopefully you noticed that my tone shifted for paragraph two, which I delivered in a far more factual tone because that paragraph was on the health benefits and I finished by delivering my slogan with emphasis and suspense.

And I made sure I remembered my slogan so that I could keep eye contact with the audience as I delivered it.

Well done.

It is now time for you to present the beginning of your persuasive advert on the energy ball.

You will need to do the following.

Share the headline and name of the product, share a visual of the product that appeals.

Ask the rhetorical question from your opening.

Don't forget to pause after it and deliver your follow-up statement.

Consider the following aspects of successful oral presentation, volume and projection appropriate to your audience, slow pace and clear diction, eye contact and body language that engages and connects, and warm tone and intonation for emphasis.

Pause the video and deliver the beginning of your persuasive adverts now.

Welcome back.

I hope you had so much fun delivering the beginning of your persuasive advert.

I loved hearing you do it.

Did you include the following? Did you say the headline and name of the product? Give a visual of the product? Ask your rhetorical question and give your follow-up statement? Have a little think.

Great job well done.

And did you incorporate the following aspects of successful oral presentation? Volume and projection appropriate to your audience.

Slow pace and clear diction.

Eye contact and body language that engages and connects.

And warm tone and intonation for emphasis.

Have a little pause and reflect on whether you think you incorporated these aspects.

Think about whether there is one aspect you might want to improve on or focus on in the next task where you'll deliver the rest of your persuasive advert.

You may even want to ask somebody who heard you for some feedback.

It's time for your second task.

Present the main body of text from your persuasive advert ending with your slogan.

You will need to do the following.

Introduce the heading, "Happy and healthy," and remember to ad-lib for this.

Introduce it with a full sentence Read paragraph one, which focuses on exaggeration and taste.

Read paragraph two, which focuses on facts and health benefits.

Deliver your slogan to finish and consider all aspects of successful presentation, but focus on the following, ad-lib for a more natural delivery.

Really important for introducing the heading, How you use a different tone between paragraph one and two.

A motive for paragraph one and factual for paragraph two, emphasis and suspense.

You can use this at different points throughout reading the main body of text, but it's really important when delivering your slogan.

Pause the video and do the task now.

Welcome back.

I loved listening to you present the main body of text from your persuasive adverts.

I can really see how hard you've been working to take on board all of those aspects we've learned about for successful oral presentation.

Did you include the following? It is time to reflect.

The heading, "Happy and healthy." Paragraph one, which focuses on exaggeration and taste.

Paragraph two, which focuses on facts and health benefits, and your slogan to finish.

And did you incorporate the following aspects of successful oral presentation? ad-lib for a more natural delivery, a motive V factual delivery between the two paragraphs and emphasis and suspense.

This is a great opportunity to reflect on what you did well and what you would like to improve on next time.

We've now come to the end of our lesson, so let's go over a summary together.

Oral presentation is an important part of selling a product and persuading an audience.

Projection, pace, and diction are important for ensuring the audience can hear and understand you.

Eye contact, body language, and intonation are important for connecting to the audience and engaging them and reading over our writing and rehearsing it supports the successful delivery of a presentation.

Well done for all of your hard work presenting.

You did a fantastic job.
