Functional Skills L2 : How to create a brilliant presentation by Sabrina

1. Think of at 4 - 6 things you want to share about your chosen topic....

Organise your presentation. It should have:

Clear introduction -
(for example) "Thank you for coming today.
My name is.... and today I am talking about...."

MAIN BODY
Here you will deliver your ideas and information in an organised way.

Conclusion
You should finish with something like:
'Thank you for listening to my presentation.' and then ask if anyone has any questions
Asking for and answering questions will also help to fill up time if your presentation is a little short.

2. Have you included all the most important information?

Imagine that your audience know nothing about the topic you are presenting.

Which areas, terms or ideas do you need to explain first so that they can understand your subject?

3. Would you like to add some visuals?

Are there any interesting pictures, diagrams, charts which would make your presentation more interesting?

4. Create a A4 page of key words and phrases

to refer to while you are giving your presentation, as you have done with all your controlled assessments.
Remember we will take in notes as evidence of work completed. It is important you have this.

Presentation Checklist

* Use Standard English (unless you are quoting someone or using terminology relevant to your topic)

* Don't stare at your sheet of paper. Look at your notes only when you need to.

* Try to add some humour - it always keeps your audience's attention (but don't make anyone laugh if it is not appropriate for your topic)

6. Tone

Our tone of voice can be friendly, serious, humourous, professional, conversational, sympathetic, exciting, etc, but it should match the topic we are discussing.

A news reporter describing the plight of Syrian refugees would not use the same tone as one discussing Coleen Rooney’s new baby.

5. Body Language

According to Albert Mehrabian, 55% of
communication is expressed in body language?

How do you use body language positively when
giving a presentation?

Try to make eye contact with people around the
room
Stand tall, not stiffly like a soldier but as
though you are confident about what we are about to do
Make gestures with your hands – for instance if
using a Powerpoint presentation, point towards the screen when making reference
to something displayed there.

7. Intonation

This is the way your
voice rises and lowers in pitch as you speak. Sometimes you stress particular words because you want to draw attention to them. This is natural and makes others want to listen to what you say.
