Industry expertise
To enhance the industry relevance of this classroom-based training approach, we recommend that you identify an industry expert or experts, and invite them in to give short presentations to students.
These industry experts are not trainers, but are people who can provide expert industry information to students to assist them with their learning. Their presentation could last up to one hour, and be provided from week 2 onwards.

Lesson Context
A simulated work environment is to be used when carrying out these lessons.
Therefore, session activities:
Reflect real life work tasks.
Are required to be performed within industry standard timeframes as specified by assessors in relation to each task.
Are assessed using assessment criteria that relate to the quality of work expected by the industry.
Are performed to industry safety requirements as relevant.
Use authentic workplace documentation.
Require students to work with others as part of a team.
Require students to plan and prioritise competing work tasks.
Involve the use of standard, workplace equipment such as computers and software.
Ensure that students are required to consider workplace constraints such as time and budgets.
Written activities
Activities provided throughout the lesson plan can be undertaken as homework and submitted to the trainer/assessor and/or conducted within the lesson as an observed task.
Plagiarism, cheating and collusion
Where a trainer/assessor believes there has been an incident of academic misconduct involving plagiarism, cheating, and/or collusion, they should report this along with reasons for the allegation. Assessors should refer to their RTO’s policy and procedures regarding training and assessment for further information.”
Practical observations
Practical observations provide opportunities for students to demonstrate both knowledge and skills.
Observe performance from an appropriate position.
Record appropriate comments and use for feedback purposes.
Homework/Self-study
At the end of each session homework/self-study can be set at the discretion of the Assessor. Suggested activities are also provided.
Induction
The following slideshow outlines the induction information provided below for this unit:
Induction.pptx. The trainer/assessor can adapt the information as relevant.
Induction and administrative procedures
Provide your RTO’s induction and housekeeping procedures, or follow the suggested outline:
Cover any general housekeeping such as:
· trainer/assessor administration
· emergency procedures
· location of toilets and fire exits
· WHS, security
· break times
· plagiarism and any other policies and procedures that the college requires the student to acknowledge or read and agree to, such as mobile phone policies or Internet usage policies.
Folder management and naming documents
Discuss and demonstrate where and how you would like students to save their work.
As a guide, students should keep all their work for this unit in a folder that has the unit code as its name, along with the student’s name.
Macintosh HD:Users:nicolehaggerty:Desktop:6.tiffFor example:
Any activities and assessment tasks should then be saved to this folder.
Students should name documents logically within the folder structure, it should include:
· Unit code
· Task number
· Task name
· Student last name (optional)
· The date or version number (optional)
For example:
Macintosh HD:Users:nicolehaggerty:Desktop:4.tiff
Back up
Students should always have a back up of their work on a different device. If the college has a network drive encourage students to use the drive and then back up to a USB or removable hard drive. If they are using a USB to save files then they should keep a back up on their laptop or home computer.
Lesson overview
Provide the students with an overview of the unit and how it will be structured and delivered.
An outline of the suggested delivery is provided on the slide.
Assessment
The assessment is provided in a separate document and should be made available to the students along with the deadlines and procedures for submission.

Activity: Video
Show the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i68a6M5FFBc
Also show students this video by J. D. Jefferys (from publicspeakingskills.com) on YouTube. Mr Jefferys demonstrates many of the points covered in this section through this presentation on skills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whTwjG4ZIJg
Ask students to consider the following questions after watching the video. Discuss as a class their responses.
1. What was the most noticeable aspect of the presentation?
2. List three things that you think were effective.
3. How did the speaker engage the audience?
4. What would you like to be able to do as well as this speaker, if anything?
5. Are there any ways that you would like to change what you did in the first activity after watching this video?
Activity: Online presentational software
Students are to research one of the following online presentation software applications:
http://www.prezi.com
http://www.slideshare.net
http://www.visme.co
They will be using one of these later in the course so should look at the features of each and sign up/register for one of them.
They do not need to learn the software at this point.
Homework/Self-study - discussion
Allocate some time at the beginning of the session to discuss the questions/activities or project work that students undertook as part of their self-study.

Plan the presentation or speech p122
Activity: Planning a speech
Provide the students with the following scenario:
You have been given the task of developing an elevator talk – the talk is to be selling either a service or product (of your choice).
1. Undertake the following activities:
i) write down a structure for your talk – it will only be for 1 minute
ii) list the intended outcomes of giving the speech
iii) make some prompt notes
iv) practice your talk
2. Split the students into pairs.
Each should present their speech to the other as if they are in an elevator.
3. Each group is to present their meet and greet in front of the rest of the class. Each group can ‘perform’ their initial greeting then swap roles so that there will be two presentations per group. The meet and greet should last for at least 1 minute.
Feedback
Discuss feedback with the whole class, how can a presentation be evaluated?
provide feedback to each group and ask their peers to do the same.
Evaluation
Students should then write an evaluation on their role play:
· were they nervous
· did the meeting go as they planned
· did they prepare enough
· was the meet and greet a success
· what would they do differently
Activity - Video Clip

GROUP ACTIVITY: Buy this!
This activity is to provide students with practice in planning and presentation.
Divide the class into small groups of 3 or 4
Each group member has to try to sell a product to the other members of the group in 3-5 minutes.
They assume the role of a member of an Advertising Agency.
· allow 10-15 minutes of class time for preparation and strategy and structure of their argument.
They can sell any item or object, whether present in the room or not.
This activity is designed to give students practice in planning a short presentation. The content is not especially important but the sequence of the argument is.
The following link from the University of Leicester provides some further tips for planning a presentation: http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/ld/resources/presentations/planning-presentation
Mini-Project: Presentation – plan
Students are to plan and prepare for a presentation, which will later be delivered and presented to the rest of the class.
The presentation should be chosen by the students but agreed by the trainer.
If the students would like a theme the trainer could provide a few ideas such as introducing a new product, presenting ideas for a marketing advertisement, discussing social media for use in an advertising campaign.
The trainer will need to allocate the appropriate timings for the delivery of the presentations.
Instructions:
The plan should be a written document and cover the following points:
· select the type of presentation that will be given and explain why you have chosen this method
· list the intended outcomes of the presentation
· outline:
· the purpose
· audience
· context and setting
· identify the main ideas
· research the supporting material that will be used (this could be weblinks, information, graphics, documentation, storyboards,etc)
· state how you will deliver your presentation (ie using software, visual aids or paper-based materials)
· provide a summary of roles for your audience (for example “The audience will be the client and have been awaiting to hear what options the agency have developed”. They are excited and like to ask questions.
· select a technique that can be used to evaluate your own presentation
· state what software you will use to support the delivery of your presentation
Discuss each of the above points with the class so that they are clear on each task.
Allow enough time for students to prepare and ensure that each topic has been approved.
Mini-Project: Software for presentations
After students have completed the plan for their presentation they will need to start preparing the content. Before doing so they must decide how the presentational software that they are using will be incorporated into the delivery.
The trainer/assessor should demonstrate the features and functions of at least one presentation software. This could be PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote or a similar software. Whilst doing so the trainer/assessor should also discuss how the software aids the presentation and how it is used in the delivery.
This session should be used for students to investigate all the functions and features of the presentation software that they have chosen to use, such as animation of slides, inserting graphs, pie charts and clip art/images.
Some students may already be comfortable using their chosen software. It is suggested however that they brush up their skills by creating a simple slideshow – keeping in mind it will be used as a presentational aid; even if they know how to use the software they may not know how to use it for an actual presentation, therefore the structure and content would be specific to giving a presentation.
Mini-Project: Prepare presentation
After students have completed the plan for their presentation they will need to start preparing the structure and content.
They should create a rough storyboard or draft for the presentation and start to construct the presentation using their chosen software.
Homework/Self-Study
Students should complete any outstanding reading or activities from the session.
Homework/Self-study - discussion
Allocate some time at the beginning of the session to discuss the questions/activities or project work that students undertook as part of their self-study.

Learning activity: Two minute presentation – Role Play
· In small groups of three or four, learners role-play possible reactions to an unforeseen incident that might occur during a presentation.
· Each person in the group can take turns to be the speaker while the others act as the audience. The problems can be on cards and one of the audience members can decide when to announce the interruption or problem.
