Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Presentations can be spoken aloud to an audience.
  2. Presentations are effective ways to share information.
  3. Presentations should be spoken clearly and at a suitable volume for the space you are in.

Common misconception

Pupils may speak very quickly, quietly and not look up from their page when presenting their report.

The teacher says a word or phrase in a loud, clear voice and the children have to echo it back as loudly and clearly as they can.

Keywords

  • Presenting - involves speaking in front of others and listening to others

  • Audience - a group of people gathered to watch a presentation or performance

  • Volume - how loud or quiet something is

  • Rehearsing - practising something before you perform in order to get better at it

Physically model strong body language, voice projection, diction and eye contact throughout the lesson. Allow the children to give feedback to their peers after their presentations.
