WRITING YOUR PRESENTATION

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to create a well-structured and engaging presentation.

What do you already know about creating presentations?

Some basic starting points

1. Using stories as hooks

2. Using the Power of Three.

3. What? Why? How?

Using Stories as Hooks

Start your presentation with a cool story or anecdote to catch your audience.

•       When you're giving a presentation, think of it as a story you're telling your peers. What's the main thing you want them to understand? 
•       Use that story to make your presentation more interesting. Start with a fun tale and your audience will pay closer attention.

Structuring Your Presentation

• Use the Power of Three: Introduction, Main Message, and Conclusion.(For people is easier to understand and remember 3 points than more.) 

• What, Why, How? When you're talking about your topic, answer these three questions: What is it? Why is it important? And how can you use it? This will make it easier for people to understand what you're talking about.

Editing Your Content

1. The language:In simple terms, make sure your audience can understand you by using easy-to-understand language. Don't use complex words if you don't have to. 
2. Sentence structure: Keep your sentences short and simple. 
   
3. Flow:  Finally, double-check that your presentation makes sense and is easy to follow.

Don't forget that...

Writing your presentation is the last step after you've done all your research. By now, you should know why you're presenting, what you're presenting about, and the main ideas you want to share. So, when it's time to write it down, it should be easy and simple.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
