I used a PowerPoint presentation, (linked below), to use as a guide in order to prompt what I was going to say, instead of just reading straight off of the board.
PowerPoint Presentation
Prior to my presentation, I was quite nervous about standing in front of people and talking about what I had learnt on my project, however I found that by the time I asked for questions, I was a bit more confident as I was able to answer them with my opinions and take into consideration the points that they were making.
By choosing a topic that I was already somewhat familiar with, and was able to get more familiar with over the course of my EPQ, this made me more confident as it allowed me to have the knowledge to answer questions that were asked to me through using facts found and opinions that I had developed through my qualification.
During my presentation, the group I presented to completed feedback forms on my presentation, such as things that went well and things I could improve. I have included some of these feedback forms below, however my main comments were that I presented my information clearly and had knowledge on my topic, but could have been more confident.
('detailed, sophisticated ideas, use of appropriate knowledge', 'With time and practice, Katie could improve her speaking skills')
('thought provoking, really interesting and challenging, copies of the dissertation to read would be good')
('shows clear passion about the course')
