Title: The Final Presentation
Course: Appdate yourself 4t ESO (in English) - Curs 2020/21 > Section: Topic 17. Final Presentation

Activity

Now that you have chosen the tool you will use for your presentation, you have to consider what you want it to form part of and which elements you must consider when it comes to showing it to your audience.

1. Parts of a Presentation

The presentation must reflect everything you have been working on throughout the course in order to integrate all the elements. It must reflect the following list:

- introduction to the group
- introduction to the enterprise, including logo and interpretation
- justification for chosen problem
- justification for chosen solution
- App design with Balsamiq
- jingle
- promo video
- target public
- marketing model
- prototype presentation

2. Points to consider prior to the presentation

Check the documents in the topic “How to Make a Good Oral Presentation” and “50 Tips on Oral Presentations” where you will find specific guidelines on different elements beforehand.

Basic things we should consider are:

- establish the type of audience you are addressing in order to modulate your speech.
- establish the elements that have to form the different parts of the presentation: introduction, central body and conclusions.
- consider the time available and accommodate it as much as possible.
- prepare a script that will help you during the presentation.
- do a run-through in front of someone who can suggest ways to improve it, flag up bits they didn't understand, etc
- if the presentation involves different people, you need to clearly establish the time that each person will speak and how the changeovers will be made.

3. Points to consider during the presentation

As mentioned in the reference documents, there are certain things you need to consider in addition to the presentation content. We can group them into two major blocks:

Non-verbal Language

This refers to the communicative part we convey with our attitude, movement, gaze, etc.

The key concepts to consider are:

- Gestures.

- Gaze.

- Volume and intonation.

- Pace and pronunciation.

- Clothing.

Verbal Language

This refers to the communicative part we convey with our speech and which should consider the following factors:

- Order and structure.

- Vocabulary.

- Syntax.

- Clarity and concision.

- Information density.

REMEMBER: Check the topic documents to make the presentation as clear as possible and not leave anything up to chance.
