Homework: Lecture: Presentation
Overview
The purpose of the Lecture: Presentation Homework is to demonstrate your understanding and use of effective teaching/lecturing strategies. The Lecture: Final Presentation Homework will also give you experience in creating an audio recording of a lecture to communicate academic material. For the Lecture: Presentation Homework you will submit an 8-10 minutenarrated PowerPoint lecture based on the Lecture: Topic and Outline Homework submitted earlier in the term. To complete your narrated PowerPoint, you will need to create an audio recording of yourself giving your lecture to a hypothetical classroom of students.
Instructions
Your submitted lecture will be graded on the following components:
A. Lecture Content/Organization - Your lecture should contain sufficient definitions/descriptions of the topic/content along with appropriate examples and/or research support. Your lecture should be organized and flow in a logical manner.
B. Active Learning/Demonstration Description - Your presentation should include a slide in which you describe one in-classactive learning exercise OR demonstration that you would give to the hypothetical class listening to your lecture. You do not need to actually administer or complete the exercise/demonstration. You are only required to briefly describe what would happen in the actual classroom. Your description should include:
a. Details of the demonstration or steps the students will need to follow for the active learning exercise
b. Explanation of how the demonstration or activity connects to what students are learning in the lecture
c. *Note that this description does count toward your 8-10 minute lecture time frame.
C. Oral Communication Skills - You will be graded on oral communication skills including: tone of voice, inflections, speech volume/speed, confidence in speaking, etc.
D. Presentation Design - Slide design should be simple, but generally aesthetically pleasing. Design should not be overly distracting or wordy.
E. Timing - Because instructors have to fit a lecture within a certain class period, your ability to limit your lecture to the 8-10 minute span will be assessed. Lectures too short or too long will be penalized. *Note that the run-times of any linked videos/multimedia in your lecture do not count toward your 8-10 minute lecture limit. The 8-10 minute limit refers to time spent narrating/lecturing.
