Vlog Week 6: Midterm Rough Draft




For this weeks vlog, I would like you to present a rough draft of your how-to presentation. Students will comment on each other vlog providing feedback on vocabulary execution, grammar and structure, and pace/flow. You may also wish to ask each other questions.

Midterm Requirements: How To Presentation


Students are required to present their “How To” presentation to the class weeks 8 and 9. Friday during week 7 will be a required work day and I will check over your presentation before you give it. This presentation needs to be 5-7 minutes in length and conducted completely in ASL. When students are presenting, students will be interrupting and asking questions in ASL. Three students will be selected to ask questions during your presentation. Make sure you know your topic well so you will be able to stop and answer their questions.

Outline

Students need to create a professional outline of your presentation. This outline needs to be typed and handed in for grading. I have provided you with a handout that discusses how presentations are structured and a sample outline. Follow this sample when developing your presentation use your textbook for help. You are required to have two outlines. One is in English and the other is in ASL.

ASL Vocabulary, Classifiers, and Grammar List

Students need to expressively demonstrate and provide a typed list of their vocabulary (wealth of knowledge), classifiers, grammar (noun/verb pairs, topic comment, pronoun placement, descriptive adjectives, if clauses, conjunctions, rhetorical, wh?, yes & no?, directional verbs, facial adverbs, modals, and use of locative space used during their presentations. Students must write their presentation in coded ASL. Use your previous text to help you develop how to write these sentences.

ASL Example: COOKIES MAKE, I SHOW YOU WANT I. WHY? FUN MAKE PLUS EAT WILL YOU!

ENGLISH Examle: I want to show you how to make cookies. I want to show you because making cookies is fun plus you get to eat them!


Visual Aids

Students will need to provide class with at least one visual aid. Keep in mind visual aids are meant to enhance presentations, not take away from them. Do not use your aids to eliminate signs points will be deleted for this. Use them as you would during an oral presentations. Power points, poster boards, props, pictures and handouts, are all good visual aids. However, I strongly suggest using a power point. Whenever you provide a written word you must also sign it. Explain how these visual aids are helpful and benefit the audience.

This will be due entirely the day and time of your presentation.
