Description: This learning object takes you through a series of modules in which a recorded voice gives you instructions on how to give a prepared speech in front of an audience. They outline tips on what type of voice to use, facial expressions, body language, gestures and stance, and the differences between informal and formal language. On the last module screen, it suggests tasks for students to take part in such as discussing and brainstorming different words and phrases which you would use in a formal and informal setting. The 'activities' button down the bottom of the module provides teachers with group and individual tasks such as " Discuss what it means to be Australian" which they can give the students to do. These activities can help assist the teachers in setting class tasks following the viewing of the learning object to better the children's understanding on how to prepare for presentations.

The strategies to achieve the learning goal: The aim of this learning object is for students to gain knowledge on how to reasonably plan, prepare and convey presentations. They should be able to gather enough information to give an appropriate presentation to suite a range of different audiences and purposes. In their presentations, they should be able to decisively incorporate supporting materials such as graphics, tables, data, sound and other visuals so they can engage the audience. The content of their presentations should be in an accurate form, whether it be informal or formal. As prompted by the last module, strategies to further their understanding could include a class discussion and further brainstorming to collaborate all the content viewed in the learning object. Another strategy could be for teachers to construct their own activities such as preparing a 2-3 minute speech using those skills learnt from viewing the various modules.
From watching this learning object, it should prompt students to use technologies to prepare more presentations on a range of dynamic issues and topics which can therefore be presented in front of peers, parents and teachers. This will ultimately improve the students ability to safely exchange information and communicate effectively with others. Students should be able to independently create digital solutions for creative outputs for particular audience types. They should be able to manipulate their information and combine many formats of text, video and sound and apply appropriate editing skills in the construction of their presentations. Ideally, when they are planning for their speeches, they will be able to uses appropriate software to map and brainstorm concepts key ideas from the learning object for use in their presentations.
