IB Presentation Tips

IB Presentation

Last minute Tips:

 

• Start well and end well.  Practice a beginning and an end.
• Have a clear thesis and support with strong evidence.

·         Think about the best placement of your creative portion.  Where will it pack the biggest wallop?  You can do it up front, at the end, in the middle, or interspersed throughout the presentation, as long as it doesn’t take up more than a third of the entire time.

·         Speak loudly and clearly and confidently.

·         Dress nicely.

• Time yourself at home.  Practice.
• If you are using a brand new word, double check the pronunciation.
• Practice for a smooth performance with a high register.
• Creative portion should relate directly to the text.
• Relate your ideas directly to the text.
• Think:  fresh insight, new angle, your unique take on the material.
• Stand up straight and use your teacher voice.  If we can’t hear you, we will not score you high.  You may relax a little during the question part, but your vocabulary still needs to maintain that high register.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Cut the fluff; get to the stuff.  Just because it is a long presentation, doesn’t mean you should pad.
