• To review the homework • Making Effective Presentations cont’d • To assign and explain homework
Last Week’s Homework
• Research and prepare a 3-4 minute speech on the way in which an everyday classroom item works. It could be as simple as an eraser or as complicated as a calculator. Whatever you choose, don’t make it too complicated and don’t make it too easy either. Pick something that will make a good presentation for the full time. • Make sure that you prepare a speech that your audience (i.e. your classmates) can understand. You can use up to 3 pictures/diagrams (but you DON’T HAVE TO), and you can bring the item you are presenting on to class (but you DON’T HAVE TO) • You will not lose marks if you do not bring things – the most important thing to try to do is make an effective presentation. Keep that in mind!
Homework
