Level 5 Assignment 4 and 5 Presentation and Q&A

Assignment 4 and 5 Presentation and Q & A

This assignment is worth 20% and involves you giving a presentation on any topic (10%) and then answering questions on the topic (10%). It will be recorded on videotape in front of the class. A suggestion would be to do your presentation on your report in your previous assignment where you have already done a lot of the work and where the topic is fresh in your mind and you have your primary and secondary data researched already. You don’t have to though, you can pick another topic if you wish. Make sure you know when you are up as it may be difficult to reschedule you without advance notice. If you can’t make the date, swap with someone who will.

This assignment demonstrates your listening and speaking skills. A lot more information can be found on http://www.irish21stcenturystudents.blogspot.com/ if you look up the Digital Presentations subject covered on this blog
