Oral+Presentations

Hi everyone!

Well done for getting through your practice presentation yesterday. They were ok but you can all improve before next week! I hope you've all spoken to the person who observed you and got some feedback from them - make sure you know how long you spoke for because a lot of you went longer than you should have! For all the groups, when another member of your group is presenting **don't talk -** it's rude and distracting for the audience, and check your visuals for spelling and punctuation mistakes.

Satomi - Good clear introduction, good volume and good handover to Polly. You need to practice more to be more confident, maintain eye contact with the audience and try not to cover your mouth when you're speaking. Polly - Good introduction, good volume and intonation. You mentioned a source but I didn't hear who it was - it would be good if you explained who the source was. Mandy - Good evidence of research. You need to practice more to be more confident and try to keep eye contact with the audience. You should make your introduction clearer and explain the purpose of your part of the presentation and try to speak more slowly. JayJay - Good eye contact and audience interaction but you need to slow down when you're speaking.
 * Coca cola** - total time 33 minutes

Amal - Good introduction and structure and good handover. Try to maintain eye contact with the audience. You had a slide about why Nokia is an icon, use this to talk in more detail about how Nokia fits into these categories (ie. how is it the first? how has it been used in art? what does it symbolise? What is the social or cultural meaning?) Tina - Good volume but you need to practise more to be more confident and to hesitate less. You also need to explain why you are telling us about the Nokia products - how is this related to the idea of Nokia as an icon? LuzNubia - Good volume and eye contact but you need to explain the purpose of your section more clearly and make sure it is clearly organised, you should also practise more to avoid hesitation and repetition. Make sure you link everything back to the idea of Nokia as an icon.
 * Nokia** - total time 25 minutes

Abdulaziz - Good introduction, structure and use of signal language. You used a quote I think but didn't say where it was from - if you quote you must give the source. Make sure you're confident with pronunciation. Oil - Good volume but you need to practise to bu more confident. Your incuded a lot of measurements on the slide but you don't need to read all of them, it might be more interesting to know is it the biggest/heaviest etc? How does this relate to the idea of the statue as an icon? Pupae - Good eye contact but you need to practise more and try to avoid repetition.
 * Statue of Liberty** - total time 20 minutes

Good luck for your exams everyone! Joel
