Kids giving tips 1 & tips 2

5 skills - talks about answering Qs!

Presentation tips:

Clear presentation = what is your topic and why; include:

interesting facts, author, plot, characters, best/worst things

Reduce text = only add key phrases & important info

Keep it simple but pretty! = don't use distracting backgrounds

Use images, quotes, video (max 1 min) = good idea to explain why you included them = more speaking!

To do:

Open your laptop & choose: Powerpoint, Canva, Prezi...

Work on it for 20 mins.

While working, I will come and check what you've got
& ask me questions.

• speaking in pairs/trios
  

Common mistakes!

sounds & words

• Mispronouncing “th” sounds:
  “this” → dis, “think” → tink 
• Flat intonation: Sounds monotonous, lacks emotions = like a robot
• Stress errors: e.g. DEvelopment instead of deVEloPMent
• Dutch fillers: “uhm… zeg maar… ja…”
• English fillers: “like… like...er...you know ”
• overusing very & really: ipv very nice, really interesting -> fantastic, engaging
• populair, idea, serie

Common mistakes 2.0

Dutch structures

• "In this movie plays T.C. the main character" =>
• "T.C. plays the main character in this movie" 
• "The story goes about..." => is!
• "There comes a twist" => is!
• shit-rule: "He play a detective"
• wrong tense: "The story is about a boy who go to school..."
• a/an/the: "He is main character" /
  "The Netflix is popular"

Common mistakes 3.0

Structure

• no intro, jumping between topics back and forth, no conclusion
• too informal: "I liked it because it was cool" / "Super funny" => "I found the film engaging because..." / "What makes this tv show stand out is..."
• "I liked it" = no explanation
• too much text on slides / reading slides / mistakes on slides / hard to read
• did not practise => presentation is too short!

better structure ideas

- tell us what you like/don't like about characters or why they are interesting

- always give a reason with your info!

- your plot summary should not be too long!

- don't include spoilers :)

- not using any images (and not telling us why you used an interesting image!)

Common mistakes 4.0

Presentation skills

• not facing the audience (e.g. reading slides/notes)
• only looking at 1 person
• speaking too fast (or too slow) or laughing
• cannot hear you!
• hand in pockets 
• not moving at all / moving too much
• jumping between ideas without linking words: First...Next...Finally...
• can't answer questions
