This unit, in this course, is done at the end of the term as class teams prepare their presentations during finals week (the final project is a summative assignment). Students will view YouTube videos in and/or out of class to prepare for this in-person lesson. Student presenters will be required to practice group presentation skills. Students in the audience will be required to internalize the presenter’s information from a marginalized identity perspective to ask the presenters questions.
Note: I have found including humor-related activities, such as this one, at the end of the term to be stress-relieving for students and less conducive to students’ public speaking apprehension.
Goals:
*Practice generic presentation skills (e.g., the structure of the presentation, audience analysis, using credible sources)
*Practice presentation skills specific to group presentation (e.g., speaker transitions, group Q&A)
*The presenter’s voice/perspective is usually privileged, just naturally how we think - this assignment requires the presenter to check their assumptions.
*Check the audience privilege: Think in terms of how information is expressed and how audience members from diverse backgrounds will interrupt and be impacted differently.
This document is set up in a step-by-step process for the whole unit and/or lesson - depending on how much time is dedicated to it.
