Must-read material on Moodle to help you prepare the presentation and power
point.
Assessed: structure of the presentation and appropriate vocabulary; power-point
presentation (timed, interesting, coherent, signposts…) delivery (fluency,
pronunciation, learnt, appropriateness and difficulty of the topic and vocabulary
used, appropriate gesturing and enthusiasm…)
Day of the presentation: turn up early. Prepare the power-point in advance.
Power point in PDF to ensure viewing. Have a back-up (flash-drive or laptop, as
the cloud does not work without internet connection). If someone in a group is
late, the next group may take over and start their presentation.
