What is it? A prepared spoken presentation (3-5 minutes) On a topic of your choice Followed by a question and answer discussion (about 5 minutes) no more than 10 minutes in total

When will it happen? Preparation starts now: NOW: Topic choices and initial research Presenting a viewpoint Planning a structure Engaging an audience Speaking for a specific purpose Discussion skills Use of visual aids Use of notes and cue cards FINAL ASSESSMENTS: June / July after Y10 examinations

Tell me more… Presentations must be formal in style They may take a wide variety of forms, including talks, speeches and dialogue Topics should be complex enough to spark sophisticated discussion Presentations must have a clear audience and purpose

Finer details… You must identify the subject for your presentation in advance and agree it with your teacher Presentations must be planned and organised You may use pre-prepared notes or powerpoint to aid presentation, but NOT a script to read As part of, or following, the presentation, you must listen to and respond appropriately to questions and feedback

Assessment A student must meet the following basic criteria: be intelligible, and generally use language appropriate to the formal setting of the presentation. Then the following criteria apply:

Pass expresses straightforward ideas / information / feelings, makes an attempt to organise and structure his or her presentation makes an attempt to meet the needs of the audience listens to questions / feedback and provides an appropriate response in a straight forward manner.

Recording Your presentation will be filmed. AGS teachers will mark the presentations. AQA will use the films to moderate and check our marking. The films will not be used for any other purpose, in school or out of it, without your prior permission (e.g. we may ask to use your film as an exemplar for later year groups)
