Creating content for a formal presentation
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can understand how to use a range of skills to take a stand and create a formal presentation.
Key learning points
- Creating content for a presentation can mean using facts, experts and an appropriate tone to take a stand.
- A metaphor involves the transfer of qualities from one thing to another.
- An extended metaphor will help direct your choice of vocabulary throughout the presentation.
- An effective way to structure your presentation is to begin and end in the same place.
- Presenting visual ideas at the start of a presentation can be very impactful.
Keywords
Transfer - move from one place to another
Extend - add to something to make it larger or longer
Semantic field - a group of words linked by a common theme
Coherence - the quality of forming a unified whole
Impact - a strong effect or influence
Common misconception
Figurative language, like metaphors, is not used in presentations.
Stress how much stronger presentations can be when it allows the audience to make associations with objects and items they are familiar with.
Teacher tip
You could ask students to come up with other metaphors for social issues and explain why those chose them.
