Oral Presentations

This unit, our summative assessment will be an oral presentation.  In order to get us prepared, we have talked about what a good oral presentation should look like and what sorts of things it should include.  We talked about the need to focus on eye contact, volume, expression and clarity, speed of speech, gestures/body language, information included and response to task.  This week we looked at articles that addressed our line of inquiry: The impact of water on human activity.  The articles talked about how lack of water and proper sanitation can impact people's health and their education.  We then created an oral presentation in groups about how water can impact on education or how water can impact on health.  Take a look at some of things we learned.

While we were presenting, we peer assessed each other using our Oral Presentation Rubric.  We used this assessment to make a goal for our summative assessment presentation.  By the time of our summative assessment, our oral presentation skills will have improved because of all of our practice!
