Presenting involves speaking in front of others and listening to others.
Presenting involves speaking with clear diction and suitable volume, making eye contact and using strong body language.
Practising pronouncing tricky words helps develop clear diction when presenting.
Rehearsing helps the presenter to speak more confidently and fluently.
Pauses at the end of sentences can help the audience follow what is being said.

Pupils may speak very quickly, quietly and not look up from their page when presenting their report.

Techniques for effective presenting are explicitly identified, explained and modelled throughout both learning cycles.

Presenting - speaking in front of others and listening to others
Projection - using our voice to speak powerfully and clearly
Diction - pronouncing words clearly
