📖 A Presentation on Cyberbullying
For the next two lessons, you will be working in groups to create a presentation on cyberbullying. You will present this in your groups to the class. Your audience is your peers. You will find out more about this later on in the lesson.
Before you begin, you will learn how to plan effective presentations.
🥈 Silver Badge – Who is your Audience?
- Once you have downloaded the worksheet above then follow the instructions below to decide who the audience of your peers includes.
- TASK 1: Underline the characteristics that you think fit your audience and are relevant for this presentation.
- TASK 2: Add three characteristics of your own in the blank spaces
- Upload the completed worksheet to the Lesson 2 – Cyberbullying – Silver Badge on www.bournetolearn.com.
📖 What Makes a Good Presentation?
Why would this slide not be suitable for your audience? Or any audience?
- The slide includes lots of text and isn’t very interesting to look at. The audience might get bored and switch off quickly.
- This isn’t a good use of the slide. Short lists or bulleted items are much more appealing to read on a screen.
Same information but the detail is left to the speaker
- This slide uses the same information, but shows only the key parts.
- The speaker would add the detail during the presentation.
Slides must be accessible
Sans serif fonts — these fonts don’t have ‘kicks’ at the edges of the letters. Sans serif fonts are much easier to read, especially from a distance.
Contrasting background and font colours — viewers with visual impairments often find it easier to read large fonts that use contrasting colours for the background and the font.
Pastel shades for backgrounds — viewers with dyslexia often find it easier to read with a pastel background.
Use images and text
Images can be used to portray details that text can’t. Making the image the focus here has a bigger impact on the audience.
Compare these images. Which will your audience connect with the most?
📖 What is Cyberbullying?
- Watch the video to learn about cyberbullying.
- Think about how you could spot cyberbullying happening to yourself or your peers at school.
- What can you do to help yourself or others?
📝 Mini Project: A collaborative presentation on cyberbullying
In your groups:
- Create a presentation on cyberbullying.
- Each member of the group must have their own slides to work on.
- The presentation should be 3–5 minutes long.
- The audience for your presentation to your peers.
- You will present this to the class in your groups.
- Use the information on the information sheet to help you.
Complete your own research to include in the presentation. There are some useful websites listed on the information sheet.
Steps for your team:
- Choose a team leader who will create the original presentation file and share it with your group.
- Decide on a colour scheme/fonts to use, but manage your time effectively.
- Create an outline for your presentation — think about what will be displayed on each slide.
- Divide the slides between your team members (add names to the owners of the slides).
- Each team member works on their own slides.
Focus your time this lesson on the content of each slide. There will be time next lesson to add images, etc.
You will continue to develop your slides next lesson.
