Part B: Presentation

As a group, you will deliver a presentation of Part A. Teams are required to allocate roles and
ensure effective time management and flow of content. Students will be assessed on their ability
to deliver a maximum 15-minute presentation in an engaging, timely, and professional manner.
The group will have 10 minutes to field questions from the audience.

Overview

Communicating your message - This assessment task is about delivering an engaging

presentation. Your verbal and non-verbal delivery is just as important as the content that you
provide.

Verbal communication – is about how you project your voice (speaking clearly and confidently),
how quickly you speak and how you pronounce and engage your audience with words. If you are
reading out your part, you will find it very difficult to engage the audience. Instead,
communicate through lively examples, stories, interesting facts/quotes, etc (i.e., make use of
rhetorical strategies).

Non-verbal communication: Body language – are you enthusiastic and confident? You will need
to make your audience feel comfortable and you can do this by making eye contact & addressing
the audience with positive body language.

Visuals – You may use electronic aids such as PowerPoint, Prezi or other presentation programs
to support your visual delivery. However, please refrain from text-heavy slides - be creative in
your design. Ensure that during delivery, the slides of team members and transitions are coherent
and flow in a logical manner.
