Presenting a non-chronological report about tigers
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can present a non-chronological report about tigers.
Key learning points
- Presenting involves speaking in front of others and listening to others.
- Presenting includes voice projection, speaking with clear diction, making eye contact and using strong body language.
- Voice projection is not the same as shouting.
- Practising pronouncing tricky words helps develop clear diction when presenting.
Keywords
Presenting - speaking in front of others and listening to others
Projection - speaking powerfully and clearly
Diction - pronouncing words clearly
Eye contact - looking into the eyes of the people in an audience
Body language - how we use our posture and gestures to communicate meaning, confidence and feelings
Common misconception
Pupils may speak very quickly, quietly and not look up from their page when presenting their report.
Techniques for effective presenting are explicitly identified, explained and modelled throughout both learning cycles.
Teacher tip
Physically model strong body language, voice projection, diction and eye contact throughout the lesson and show films of excellent example speakers.
