Presentation

Task

Create your multimedia presentation selling your idea about the research trip and story, in a bid to win the contract from ‘Penguin Publishers’.

This is your chance to shine!

 

Create a Multimedia Presentation bringing together appropriate elements of the other tasks to make a convincing case to ‘Penguin Publishers’ to win the contract for your overseas research trip and the publication of your story.

Below are some ideas to consider for your presentation;

  • Where do you propose to go for your research trip?
  • What will you find out when you are there?
  • How much money will you need for the trip?
  • Justify why you should receive the money.
  • Describe how the trip will impact on the setting and plot of your story.

You may have other ideas you would like to include. Remember the stiff opposition!

Don’t forget to use the Problem Solving Wheel to keep your thinking on track.

The most important things to remember are:

 

  • An awareness of your audience

 

  • Appropriateness of the information you will share

 

  • The use of persuasive language

 

  • Timing – the presentation must be no longer than 5 minutes as you are addressing very busy people!

 

Remember - you have not met the people you are trying to convince. Keep to the point. Be careful you don't distract your audience by using too many flashy effects. Be selective.

When you have made your decisions, give your opening frame a lot of thought. You only get one chance to make a first impression - and it only lasts a couple of seconds. You could blow your whole presentation before they get to the second frame!

GOOD LUCK!
