5 Minutes

Concept Discussion:

• Ask learners “who is your favourite speaker and why?”

• Take 3-4 responses and write the reason on the board. These reasons can be- connect with the audience, loud voice, clarity of thought, simple language etc.

• Now ask them, if their class-mates get a job or they are starting their business and they have to present their ideas to their clients then what are the suggestions you would give them to make their presentations effective.

• Write their ideas on the board and guide them on “starting”, “main body” and “closing” of the presentations

• Tell groups to prepare and present a topic ensuring equal participation of each member in the group. They can pick a topic from the list given in their handbook

• Tell them that each group will get 6-8 minutes for presentation and they will get 2 minutes to respond to the audience’s questions in the end.

• Tell them only one member of the group will introduce the topic and the group members. Then others will continue the presentation without introducing themselves.
