Activity: Deciding the topic

• Tell learners that three days have been dedicated for planning, preparing and executing formal presentations. Following are the rules:

• Students will do the preparation in this session and in the next session. They will execute the presentation on the 3rd day

• These will be group presentations and students will choose their group members

• It’s compulsory to use powerpoint presentation (even if it’s just one slide/picture/video) or any digital medium for presentation (in case the training is taking place at a place where projectors, computers etc are not available then allow them to use chart papers or any other material that they can use to make their presentation interesting)

• Each group will get 10 minutes for presentation and 2 minutes for “question-answer” round

• Groups will bring their digital material (PPT/Video etc.) in pendrive or they can share the material with the trainer so trainer can run the PPT on his/her computer

• Students should dress professionally on the execution day and should assume that they are giving a presentation infront of authorities. 

• The class strength will be divided in 6 groups

• External members (teachers from their institute, training managers etc.) may come to attend the presentations on the execution day

• Feedback on the parameters mentioned in the handbook will be shared with each group the next day

• Give them 5 minutes to form groups. The entire class should get divided in 6 groups

• Give them 15 minutes do some research and decide one topic for their presentation

• All the group will share their topics

30 Minutes

Activity 2: Flow of the presentation

• Groups will be asked to create a flow of their presentation (structure)- what all will they present and how

• They will be free to take help from each other and from the trainer. 

• Encourage them to make a logical flow of the presentation

• In case some groups ask for more time, tell them to continue the discussion after the class and come prepared with the excel sheet in the next session

• The outcome should be an excel sheet showing the following columns:

• Time (example 1 minutes)

• What (Topic/ subtopic/ part of the topic)

• How (PPT/ Video/ Story etc)

• Who (names of group members covering that part)
