Content of your presentation
• Your presentation should be about two things:
– your end product
– your journey through the project process.
• Give equal time for explaining the content of
your project and ‘telling your story’.
• Talk about the highs and lows of the project
process, skills learned along the way, impact it
has had upon your life, what you have learned
about yourself etc.

record part A’ (page 12) from the production

• Your supervisor will complete part B (page 13)
after your presentation.
• Complete the ‘Reflection’ (page 14) after the
presentation.

explain your objectives?
• Do you follow this by clearly defining the points of the
presentation?
• Are these main points in logical sequence?
• Do these flow well?
• Do the main points need support from visual aids?
• Does your closing summarize the presentation clearly and
concisely?
• Is the conclusion strong?
• Have your tied the conclusion to the introduction?
Delivery:
• Are you knowledgeable about the topic
covered in your presentation?
• Do you have your notes in order?
• Where and how will you present (indoors,
outdoors, standing, sitting, etc.)?
• Have you visited the presentation site?
• Have you checked your visual aids to ensure
they are working and you know how to use
them?
Appearance:
• Make sure you are dressed and groomed
appropriately and in keeping with the
audience's
• expectations.
• Practice your speech standing, paying close
attention to your body language, even your
• posture, both of which will be assessed by the
audience.
Visual Aids:
• Are the visual aids easy to read and easy to
understand?

communicate?
• Can they be easily seen from all areas of the
room?
