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.

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.

Manage challenging audience members p131
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.
· The speaker must deal with the problem on the spot and continue for another minute. The group can then discuss how that solution worked and other possible ways of dealing with the incident.
· Possible incidents list (add others from your experience):
· the power fails and all lights and powered accessories go off
· the microphone starts buzzing loudly
· an audience member suddenly falls ill (for example, faints)
· the fire alarm starts
· the presenter knocks over a book which slams on the ground
· half of the audience leave ater 5 mins
· a phone keeps beeping/buzzing/ringing
· there is a commotion outside and everyone runs to the window halfway through the presentation
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.
Session 4: Topic 4 – Review the presentation
Recommended reading

Chapter 5: Presentations and Public Speaking p118
Review the presentation or speech p132
GROUP ACTIVITY: Peer evaluation
Part of the Assessment task requires students to seek feedback on their presentation through the use of questioning. They will all require similar feedback so this could be designed as a group activity whereby the students can discuss the prompts that could be used and what should be included in the sheet.
· Discuss evaluation and feedback
· Brainstorm prompts/layout for sheet
· Each student to create their own feedback sheet that can be used to evaluate their own presentations
Encourage students to:
· Create their own headings;
· Decide on what aspects of the presentation they are interested in receiving feedback on and construct objective statements about them;
· Design an appropriate layout to use
Discuss constructive criticism and how feedback is used to evaluate performance.
Activity: Presentations
Students should continue to work on their presentations and evaluation sheets.
The trainer/assessor should set up and prepare an appropriate location for students to deliver their presentations and consult with students on their requirements for their presentation.
Activity: Deliver a presentation
Before each student presents, they should provide an evaluation/feedback sheet for the “audience” to complete.
The trainer/assessor should provide feedback after each presentation.
Coach the students and support with any issues they may have.
Any students not attending the day’s session should be given the opportunity in the following day to deliver their presentation.
After students have delivered their presentation they should collect the feedback/evaluation from the audience and analyse the responses.
They are then to write a brief evaluation of the presentation:
- how they think their presentation went
- the general feedback received
- any suggested changes that they would incorporate into their presentation
- feedback received that has helped
- things they would personally change or work on to design and deliver a better presentation
Activity: Review Questions – Chapter 5
Activities from the text
Review questions p136
Exploring the web p139
Case Study1: Fasdel Transport Company
Case Study2: Nadia’s professional approach to public speaking
Students should type their answers in a word processed document and submit to the trainer.
Session 5, 6, 7 and 8: Review and Assessment
The content of this unit has now been covered. The next two weeks have been allocated for trainer/assessor review and student completion of assessment tasks.
Review and completion
Allocate time for students to complete any outstanding activities, reading, role-plays, meetings, presentations or further tasks that require observation or submission to the trainer/assessor.
The trainer/assessor should allow time to review any topics or activities undertaken by students to consolidate their learning.
Discuss the Assessment Tasks
Take time to discuss each task in detail if required, and ensure that the students understand the assessment procedures, submission instructions and deadlines.
Students should use these sessions to work on their assessment tasks, with support from the trainer/assessor.
Short Answer Test
Allocate one hour for the completion of Assessment Task 1 – Short answer test. This is an open book test but is required to take place under supervision test conditions.
Support
The trainer/assessor should provide as much support as is appropriate for students whilst they undertake their assessment tasks. The trainer/assessor may have to timetable meetings or role-play’s that require observation for assessment so it is important to ensure that this has been considered into the lesson planning over the last two weeks of assessment.
Housekeeping
Provide some time at the end of the last session for housekeeping such as administrational duties, student feedback and farewells.

a) First of all you will need to identify a presentation topic to conduct a presentation of approximately 15 minutes. Review the information below to assist you in choosing presentation topic.
Presentation topic
Occupation of interest
Your presentation could focus on an occupation that is of interest to you and that a student studying your course could pursue following the completion of their course. Your presentation should include a range of information about the occupation/s. For example, key roles and responsibilities, key skills required to complete the job, job outlook both in Australia and overseas, training required and average salaries.
Topic of interest
Your presentation could focus on a topic that you are studying in your course and that is of particular interest to you. Your presentation should address key concepts related to the topic. For example, if you are studying marketing, your topic could be the effectiveness of digital marketing and include a range of information about its purpose, contrast with other forms of marketing and statistics about its effectiveness. Similarly, if you are studying human resources, you may choose to develop a presentation about the use of social media for recruitment.
As you will have to provide a presentation of 15 minutes, you should make sure that you will be able to access enough information and prepare sufficient material for your presentation.
b) Once you have chosen your presentation topic you need to review the presentation requirements outlined below and then complete the presentation plan template provided to you in order to prepare for your presentation.
Presentation requirements
Assume that the audience for your presentation is a diverse group of individuals (female and male and culturally diverse, including those whose first language is not English) who do not have a general knowledge of the subject matter.
As your presentation is to be conducted on-site at your studying location, you must also consider the location and the resources that are available to you to conduct your presentation. Your assessor will ensure that you are provided with this information as part of this assessment task.
Your presentation should commence with an introduction regarding the purpose of the presentation, as well as an outline of the content you will cover and the desired outcome of the presentation. You should also allow time for questions, which may be during or at the end of the presentation depending on the type of presentation you choose to provide
Presentation format/strategy/delivery method
Consider the best method of presenting your topic to the identified target group. Consider options such as discussions, oral presentation, demonstration and case studies. In addition, consider the most suitable presentation format and delivery methods such as a verbal presentation only, a presentation incorporating video and/or visuals or a presentation using storyboards. Your chosen format/strategy/delivery method will also need to take into account the audience, as well as resources and location advised by your assessor.
Presentation aids and materials
As your presentation is to be engaging and informative, consider presentation aids and materials and techniques that can make your presentation interesting. Remember that a presentation aid is defined as something to assist you to make the presentation and presentation materials are something to provide to the audience. You must create at least one of the presentation aids or materials using a business software package such as PowerPoint or Microsoft word or any other relevant software package.
Your choice of presentation aids and materials will also depend on the available resources advised to you by your assessor.
You must include at least one presentation aid and one presentation material in your presentation as outlined above, as well as practical examples to illustrate the information you provide to add interest to the presentation.
Communication techniques
As you will need to use effective communication techniques during the presentation, consider the following for inclusion in your presentation:
A planned opener to engage audience interest
Planned techniques to ensure continuing audience interest throughout the presentation – you should identify and use at least one.
Presentation helpers
Assume that you need assistance with your presentation, for example, someone to introduce you or by handing out materials you have developed. This should be a fellow student.
You will need to brief this person to assist you in your presentation in the next part of the assessment and advise them of their roles and responsibilities within the presentation plan template, ensuring your instructions are clear and easy to follow.
b) Next submit your completed Presentation Plan template via email to your assessor. Your assessor will review your work and provide you with approval to proceed to preparing your presentation in the next task. Your assessor may also suggest changes, which will be provided to you in writing via email. You will be expected to make any suggested changes.
d) Now prepare your presentation. This will include researching the topic you have chosen and preparing your presentation according to the presentation strategy and format you have chosen, as well as the presentation aids and materials that you have identified as most suitable for your target audience.
Send the presentation aids and materials via email to your assessor prior to the presentation. Where the presentation aids and materials cannot be sent, electronically, submit them in hard copy.
Make sure you practice your presentation prior to delivery.
e) The final part of the assessment requires to you identify how you will evaluate the effectiveness of your presentation. You should choose two techniques that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of your presentation and then prepare the associated documents. For example, if you choose to develop a survey you will need to develop a short questionnaire that you can provide to participants after the presentation.
The purpose of the evaluation is to seek feedback on participants understanding of the ideas and concepts you presented, as well as their ideas on how you can improve your performance.
f) Prior to your presentation, you must submit your PowerPoints and evaluation documentation to your assessor via email.
