What do you have to do?
You have to give an individual presentation or give an extended contribution in a small group discussion.
Your presentation/contribution should be linked with the topic/point/argument in your written coursework (i.e. if you think the internet filter should be lifted in school or not).
You will have to give your presentation in front of a small group of people (4 or 5) and, once you have finished, you will need to answer questions based on your presentation.
Your presentation also has to be filmed.

Points I will make in my presentation (these can be the same as those made in your written coursework):
Strategies I will use to engage my audience i.e. rhetorical questions, personal pronouns, body language):
Facts and statistics I will use to back up my points (these can also be the same as those used in your presentation):
