Task Five: Make a Speech
Your Task:
You are required to prepare a 2-3- minute speech on deforestation in Indonesia. Your focus should be on destroying forests to create palm oil plantations and the negative impacts this has on the environment. Your speech should be accompanied by a power point presentation or a poster.
You will present this speech to the whole of Year 6 in week 8. I will then choose the top 3 speakers to present their work at next whole school assembly. Your job is to inform the audience about the topic of deforestation and also to persuade them in wanting to help look after our environment.
Your written speech should include:
- a brief definition on what deforestation is
- why deforestation is occurring
- a description on how deforestation negatively affects the environment (flora, fauna, pollution)
- information about palm oil and palm oil plantations
- how others may be able to help save the environment
Your power point presentation OR poster should be visually appealing. You should include:
- colour
- headings and subheadings
- pictures with labels, diagrams, photos etc
- appropriate font (size and colour)
-dot points
Remember these presentation skills:
- regular eye-contact with the audience
- appropriate volume,tone, body language and expression
Challenge: Try to memorise the majority of your speech and use dot points on palm cards to occasionally refer to while you're speaking.
