Presenting involves speaking in front of others and listening to others.
Presenting includes using voice projection, speaking with clear diction, making eye contact and strong body language.
Voice projection is not the same as shouting.
Practising pronouncing tricky words helps develop clear diction when presenting.

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 - speaking powerfully and clearly
Diction - pronouncing words clearly
Eye contact - looking into the eyes of the people in an audience
Body language - how we use our posture and gestures to communicate meaning, confidence and feelings
