Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Presenting involves speaking in front of others and listening to others.
  2. Presenting includes using voice projection, speaking with clear diction, making eye contact and strong body language.
  3. Voice projection is not the same as shouting.
  4. Practising pronouncing tricky words helps develop clear diction when presenting.

Common misconception

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

Techniques for effective presenting are explicitly identified, explained and modelled throughout both learning cycles.

Keywords
