Things to think about for your presentations

  • Does my presentation reflect my essay?
  • Is my presentation well organised with an introduction, main body and conclusion?
  • What questions can I anticipate?
  • Am I speaking clearly and loudly enough?
  • Am I using oral signposting?
  • Are my visuals clear? - check for spelling mistakes
  • Am I sure that I can pronounce any difficult words?
  • Have I practised?
  • Am I reading from the script too much?
  • Have I made note cards to help me?
