Grrrrreat presentations – Samples (1)

Dear everyone,

The presentations have begun for 4DEF. We have gathered several learning points. Remember that this is a journey that we are moving forwards together. As such, I have decided to share on some of the winning elements to help everyone succeed and improve. Here are two presentations which have incorporated the learning points from “Death by Powerpoint” very successfully.

Oral Presentation Project

Hello everyone,

For our post-exam activity, we will be preparing our material for oral skills.  An excellent conversation is engaging in content and brings in issues from different perspectives.  This is your chance to read up and share with your classmates.

Here are two files that you need to look at for the lesson.

As always if you have a question or face some problems, drop me a comment and I will surely respond

Death by Powerpoint

How do we use powerpoint effectively to make GREAT presentations?

Watch these videos and learn from the experts.  Enjoy!

I would appreciate some comments on the usefulness of these video clips. Drop me a note please.

Kobayashi – Do not watch if you just ate something.

Kobayashi is a world sensation because he did two significant things:
1. He made competitive eating a sport by having a strict training regimen. Therefore, he debunked the myth that competitive eating was monopolised by big-sized people.
2. He devised his own technique of stuffing as many hotdogs as possible within a time limit – break it into half, dip it into water and stuff it into his mouth!

Here are the video resources that you should look at before attempting the comprehension exercise:

(A) A tribute video to Takeru Kobayashi

(B) Kobayashi’s technique of eating a hotdog – filmed in slow motion
