- Changes in voice, facial expressions and body language are used to tell a story with charisma.

Common misconception
Children may find it difficult to combine all elements of oral presentation successfully. E.g. When focusing on projection, they may lose some of their expression.
Ensure children practise the difference between projection and shouting. As they become more comfortable with projection, they should be able to juggle and maintain more elements of oral presentation successfully.
