Guidelines for the Oral Presentation

Oral Presentation in the Reading Project requires each student to present her/his work (answers to the required questions) using spoken words and visual aids like posters, charts, and objects, or spoken words and multimedia technology like PPT, video clip and audio recording.

The entire presentation should be 7 to 10 minutes. This covers preparation, presentation proper, and Q&A session. Presentation of the content should not be less than 5 minutes and should not exceed 5 minutes.

In the question-and-answer part, the teacher will ask 2-3 questions to check the student’s understanding and/or ask questions on the parts of the presentation that may be unclear or incomplete.

Presentations must be done in class, in a face-to-face setting, and with the teacher as an evaluator and the whole class as an audience.

The presentation must cover the content expected in the project.

Introduce your presentation by mentioning your topic.
Present your answers to the following questions:

Why did you choose the first article? What is the article about?
What additional information did you find about your chosen topic? What other information do you think can be added to the discussion of the topic? Why is the information important or interesting to add?
How can your chosen topic affect the quality of your life or the quality of human life? Are the effects positive and/or negative?

Present five new words taken from the article. Explain the meanings of these words with the aid of visuals like images, video clips, and other tools.

Attractive, well-designed, and clear visual aids/multimedia technology should be used.

The teacher will evaluate the presentation using the provided rubric.

Presentations must be done in weeks 14-15.

Absence in the scheduled presentation is equivalent to zero if there is no valid excuse approved by the course coordinator.
