PW Oral Presentations Requirements!

Dear 2E,

As mentioned, please see the following details – It will tell you what we HOPE to see in your presentations.

Please remember you have 15 min
Aside from CONTENT, we will be grading you on presentation skills. The best groups will be presenting your project to the Lower Secondary Assembly. =)

Basically the presentation must cover the following:

1. All scripts, storyboards, photos etc should be posted with everyone’s comments on how these
answer the project task question you have been assigned (You MAY choose to extract certain quality postings/responses to showcase during your presentation)

2. The actual movie/documentary and photo journal can be displayed.

3. You should also post blog entries discussing the oral presentation and how you would organise it
to make it interesting for the audience. Your oral presentation should address the following
processes:

a) What’s your project question /task and what is your understanding of this question? How have you
managed to answer this project question through the project research and work you have done?

b) What were the roles and responsibilities of each member and what was done to ensure that
everyone contributed? What problems were encountered and how did you solve these as a group?

c) Explain your concept of the documentary and how does this documentary answer the project task
focus or question.  Explain clearly why you have chosen to present the dicumentary in this way ,
explain the ideas behind the way you plan the storyboard, the different scenes and why certain
scenes are chosen and what you intend to show with these ( include details abt camera angles/shot
types, music, narration text, sequence of scenes, focus of video and what is the message you wish to
communicate).  The same questions can be applied for the photo journal

d) Reflection on Learning – must be specific in terms of what skills esp thinking skills, analysis skills,

That’s all. All the best!
