You have all now presented your Titanic personal projects to the class. Once again we have had a wide range of projects being shared: PowerPoints, models, posters, books, and we even had a few quizzes (with prizes for our winners). A large amount of information was shared during your presentations – I was very impressed! Well done everyone! Verbal feedback for individual presentations will be given over the course of this week.
Once all of our presentations had been completed, you had the opportunity to have a closer look at each other’s work. Please click the link below to view our presentation photographs.
Titanic Personal Project Presentations
Over the next few weeks you should prepare a personal project presentation on the Titanic. You will then present your project to the class on Thursday 15th June. I know some of you may already be sunning yourself somewhere hot on this date, therefore you may complete your project prior to this date. Please see me (or Mrs Hughes if you are in P5H) and I will organise a different presentation date for you. The criteria and task sheet for this task can be found below.
Titanic Personal Project Presentation
Learning Outcome: I can research a given topic and create a detailed presentation.
I can use primary and secondary sources selectively to research events in the past. SOC 2-01a
I can discuss why people and events from a particular time in the past were important, placing them within a historical sequence. SOC 2-06a
Skill for Learning
Application & Knowledge: I can apply my knowledge of a given topic to plan and produce an interesting presentation.
Skill for Work
I can organise my time and resources independently to ensure my presentation is completed in the allocated time.
| Background
To build further on your presentation skills you have to prepare a personal project to present to your peers. Presentations play a huge part in our learning and being able to present to your peers, with confidence, is a great skill to learn. |
| Task
What you need to know: Your personal project should be about the Titanic. You may choose any aspect you wish.
What you need to do: You can present your project in any way you choose. This might be in written form, a PowerPoint presentation, a booklet, a video or even a model. In other words, you have the choice to choose the way you feel will best help you to demonstrate your knowledge of your chosen topic. This project is all homework based therefore you need to think about the resources you will have access to: books, library, internet, personal accounts etc.
What you need to think about: You can use whatever you need to describe your personal project: photographs, videos, props etc. Try to think about why you picked this area for your project. What was it that interested you about it? Remember some people in class may know nothing about the area you have chosen to discuss, so you must explain it in detail.
How to get started: Get all of your ideas down on paper and then decide which ones are the most relevant and will best engage your audience.

Using what I know about the features of different types of texts, I can find, select and sort information from a variety of sources and use this for different purposes. LIT 2-14a

To build on your presentation skills you have to prepare a solo talk to present to your peers. Presentations play a huge part in our learning and being able to present to your peers, with confidence, is a great skill to learn. |
| Task
What you need to know: You are free to complete your solo talk presentation on any topic you wish. It would be best if you were to pick a topic you are interested in, or involved in already, as this way you will have personal knowledge about the subject you are talking about. For example, it could be about a sport you are involved in, a club you attend, a place you have visited. Your talk should be between 2-3 minutes in length.
What you need to do: You need to plan and prepare a talk on a topic of your choice. You may use props and/or visual aids. If you make a PowerPoint it should not be full of writing as this will ensure you are not reading directly from the slides. Photographs may be included which will help prompt you during your talk. Please choose a way you feel will best help you to demonstrate your knowledge of your chosen topic. This project is all homework based therefore you need to think about the resources you will have access to: books, library, internet, personal accounts etc.
