Learning activity 4

Evidence: My presentation outline

A. Find a topic of personal interest. Imagine you are going to present that topic
orally to your teacher and classmates at school. For this part of the evidence
you need to carry out exhaustive research in order to be able to present all the
necessary information related to your selected topic. Report the most important
aspects of your research through a brainstorm of the ideas and concepts that
you think will be relevant to the presentation.

Brainstorm

Example of topic: Aviation.

 Aviation refers to the use of commercial and non-commercial aircrafts

for transportation of people or goods.

 The A380, manufactured by the Airbus Industry, is the biggest plane

ever made.

Brainstorm
The telescope:
The name "telescope" was proposed by the Greek mathematician Giovanni
Demisiani on April 14, 1611, during a dinner in Rome in honor of Galileo, a
meeting in which attendees could see the moons of Jupiter by means of
the apparatus that the famous astronomer had brought with him.
There are several types of telescopes: refractors, which use lenses;
reflectors, which have a concave mirror in place of the lens of the target,
and reflectors, which have a concave mirror and a correction lens that
support a secondary mirror. The reflecting telescope was invented by Isaac
Newton in 1688 and an important advance on the telescopes of his time by
easily correcting the chromatic aberration characteristic of refracting
telescopes.
B. Now, structure your presentation using the Signpost language learnt during this
learning activity. Present your outline through presentation cards. Use as many
cards as you need.

Remember: Each presentation card should include a heading,

a phrase at the bottom, a number and it should be organized
by numbering and bulleting.

Structure: I’m going to divide this talk into five parts.

1. Early beginnings.
2. Civil aviation.
3. Commercial aviation.
4. Modern aircrafts manufacturers:
a. Airbus.
b. Boeing.
c. Embraer.
5. The most famous aircrafts in history:
a. Concorde.
b. Boeing 747.
c. Airbus A380.

Let’s turn now to the first part: the early beginnings

of aviation…

STRUCTURE: I’M GOING TO DIVIDE THIS TALK INTO FOUR PARTS.

1. DEFINITION.
2. ORIGIN.
3. INVENTOR
4. TELESCOPE CLASSES

1. DEFINITION
My subject today is the telescope: the telescope is an optical instrument that
allows you to observe distant objects in much more detail than the naked eye
by capturing electromagnetic radiation, such as light. It is a fundamental tool in
astronomy, and every development or improvement of this instrument has
allowed advances in our understanding of the universe

2. ORIGIN

The name "telescope" was proposed by the Greek mathematician Giovanni

Demisiani on April 14, 1611, during a dinner in Rome in honor of Galileo, a
meeting in which attendees could see the moons of Jupiter by means of the
apparatus that the famous astronomer had brought with him.

3. INVENTOR

The reflecting telescope was invented by Isaac Newton in 1688 and an

important advance in the telescopes of his time by easily correcting the
chromatic aberration characteristic of refracting telescopes.

Analysing this point - Where does that lead us?

This leads us to that the patented invention was Newton the others only gave
contributions.

4. TELESCOPE CLASSES

There are several types of telescopes: refractors, which use lenses; reflectors,
which have a concave mirror in place of the lens of the target, and reflectors,
which have a concave mirror and a correction lens that support a secondary
mirror.
C. To complete the evidence, you must now write a complete list of references
using the guidelines given by the American Psychological Association (APA). Do
not forget to organize your references alphabetically.
