Narrative presentations are brief (3–5 minutes) and do not require research. Narrative presentations are about telling a story. Telling a coherent story means that you relay an order of events. Be concise! Only include details that are necessary to your purpose. You may also want to include a simple visual aid (e.g., image, object) to enhance your story.

Non-researched process presentation

Non-researched process presentations are brief (3–5 minutes) and do not require research. You share specific information on how to do something and organise that information using a structure (brief introduction, body and brief conclusion).

 

​

Researched definition/explanation presentation 

Definition/explanation presentations are 5–7 minutes and use evidence from research to explain an important idea. Because of the topic of the presentations, students are limited in the subject matter. Students must discuss a topic that includes an introduction, body and conclusion with a limited use of a visual aid.

Persuasive presentation

The persuasive presentation is based on your persuasive research essay and will help you focus on the communication aspect of the assignment. The presentation is for a formal audience, which means that students must consider a range of things such as their language, tone and choice of visual aids. The persuasive researched presentation involves discussing and researching a topic using an introduction, body and conclusion with effective use of visual aids.
