English assessment-Oral Presentation

[lachymm]

Hey guys, how do you ensure you get a really good mark in your oral presentation?
What are the markers looking for?
How do i get confidence and come across passionate about my subject?

Anything else would be of a great help (Any sites or pdf documents), thanks guys.

i did mine got an A was happy but wanted an A+ .lol
i think there looking for someone with knowledge of the topic of speech and many sources so that it is super persuasive. but i could be wrong

[lachymm]

I was looking for something abit more specific but congrats on the A

best ask your teachers they will be able to go into depth on what you should do to get an awesome mark.

1. Dont use cue cards.
2. Relax. Enjoy the presentation. Dont look so terrified. I got 28/30 if it helps

I usually get A+ for orals. Your body language is actually as important as the content of your speech. I practised for two days before the actual Oral last year.

Also, try to create a stunning intro (provided its appropriate), smile when necessary, use props if possible. I personally tend to avoid using powerpoints because my school didn't have user friendly projectors in our classrooms and it may cause a lot of trouble, you could use it though

Examples of "stunning intros"?

Like yelling some word at the top of your voice?
You mean something that grabs the audiences attention and seperates you from the rest yeah?

National anthem in background with aussie flag waving while talking proudly in overly patriotic tone about democracy, only for the song to be cut, a picture of commy Rudd cutting in and you saying "democracy...Well I have bad news for you...it is not"...it worked for me

[lachymm]

Wow that sounds great, any more ideas?

[Studyinghard]

If you have a powerpoint presentation, dont start with the presentation. First have a bit of your introduction on what you are going to talk about in a very friendly easy tone and to end use the phrase "so sit back, relax and enjoy!" /start presentation .

[lachymm]

Hmm, im liking these ideas, that would set a relaxing mood for the rest of your presentation. Anyone else care to share

[ZachCharge]

You are not there to make the kids relax, your there to anger, enrage , manipulate - ahem, I mean persuade

Or at least dazzle your teacher intro submission...

Seriously thought, humour is good, makes the whole thing more fun.
