Current Events Anyone? mini-movie of classmates- First 4 of How to give a good presentation- Creative Time
I will demonstrate how to do a Current Event.
Notebook entry- How to give a good presentation
Energy- Most of us prefer to watch a presentation where the speaker is clearly making an effort to connect with the audience. Energy comes out a vocal variety, gestures, and facial expressions helping you show passion and gain positive listener response. Energy is also a great mask effectively covering up nervousness and other distractions.
Eye Contact- maintain eye contact with individual audience members long enough to complete you thought (3-5 seconds), rather than shifting your gaze from side to side.
Hand Gestures- use natural movements of your arms, hands and body to emphasize your mainpoints. Aviod actions such as crossing arms or putting your hands on your hips.
Facial Expressions- Use smiles, frowns, and other varied expressions to keep your audience engaged. Take tips from stage actors: the bigger the audience the bigger your expressions.
Creative Time for Poster Projects!
