Student Presentations
Making presentations is an important academic and life skill. Students
are introduced to the art of presenting as early as kindergarten when
they are asked to give a book talk or present an item for show and tell. By
the time they reach high school, students are asked to participate in
debates and deliver engaging presentations. Furthermore, today’s job
market seeks workers who have the ability not only to collect, classify,
and understand the constant flow of information, but also to present that
information clearly and coherently so others can understand it.
Student presentations serve two purposes. First, you can use them to
assess your students’ comprehension of the content: Is all of the key information accounted for? Is it organized in a clear structure that shows the
relationship between main ideas and details? Second, asking students to
design and deliver a presentation allows you to assess their competence in
key research, information management, and communication skills.
Of course, there is a wide variety of presentation methods students
can use or be asked to use. Figure 1.5 outlines seven common types of
presentations and links each to a purpose and to assessment criteria typically used to determine the quality of each type of presentation.
Once the parameters of each type of presentation have been made
clear, you can develop tasks accordingly. The following narrative-based
