The presentation was divided into 5 parts for us to present every part. After out presentation, Mr Jhace gave us comments about the whole presentation from the contents to the deliveration. We learned so much from him. He gave us advice and other techniques on how to make ourselves  better in terms of presenting.

2nd Meeting: Rules and Tips in making a Presentation

Last September 24, 2018, Mr Jhace Domantay, our student teacher, performed his Final Demo. He discussed the basic rule in preparing a presentation. 

The guy Kawasaki's famous 10-20-30 rule of power point. 

A PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, the font size must use is not smaller than thirty. 

Ten slides

Ten is the optimal number of slides in a PowerPoint presentation because a normal human being cannot comprehend more than ten concepts in a meeting. Though ten slides seemed to be too few, your slide must contain fruitful and informative contents. You must maximize the use of every slide. You must include your PREP pattern within the given number of slides.

Twenty minutes

The whole presentation must last no longer than 20 minutes. The presentation must be an interesting, because the attention span of a human lasts only for 20 minutes. If the presentation is naturally long and full of explanation, you must be versatile enough to make different strategies to catch your audience attention and make them interested in your topic. 

Thirty points

The font size that you must use in preparing a presentation must be 30 points and above. One reason is for the people at the back may see the texts in the slide even though they are distant at the board. Another reason is to minimize the number of texts in the slide. 

Mr Domantay also give us 8 tips on making an awesome power point presentation

1st Meeting: Guide On How To Present

Last September 17 is our  first meeting with Ms. Olivar, our subject teacher.
At first, she let let us to take the diagnostic examination for her to know which questions in the exam is in the group of the low correct respond which means that it also needs more time to discuss and teach during the term. She is quite disappointed because no one passed the exam, which means that no one made an advance reading about the subject.

Few moments later, she went to her topic discussion, the "Guide on How To Present."
She told us that we must be aware of our gestures when we're presenting. We must put our hands on the waist level of our body and be open every time we are asking for response from the audience. We must also avoid different fillers like "Uhm" "Ah" "Ano".

3 PARTS OF PRESENTATION

1ST PART

Introduction which consists of complete name, course and section (if necessary) and what is the title of your topic

2ND PART

Body which consists of your whole topic. In the body of your presentation, you must be clear with your point of view. That's why you must set a pattern. PREP is one of the most famous pattern when it comes to presentation. P is for teh Position, which tells your perspective about a certain topic. R is for the Reason, which tells your belief, principle, and other reference which support your position. E is for Example, which enlist your different example of things, people and scenarios regarding on the supported position and reason. P is for the Position again, which tells your perspective regarding on the topic to summary or generalize your PRE.

3RD PART

Generalization which can be a thought, quotes, or a brief conclusion that can be remarkable on the audience.
