Cedar Class

Cedar class learning for 21 MAY 2020

English: LO: to create cue cards.

By now, you should have your slides all set up and ready! If not, spend some time today finishing them off. When you have completed them, today’s task is to begin to prepare to present our presentation.

Your slides should only hold key information on them to aid your audience. In a presentation, the bulk of what is being presented is what you actually say, not what is written on the slides. The difficulty arises when remembering exactly what to say to the audience! Today, I would like you consider very carefully what it is you are going to say. Once you know, write down a mini script for yourself on a small piece of paper which you can hold in your hand. You can either write down exactly what you will say and read from the paper, or just make a few bullet points if you are very confident in what you will be talking about!

This way, the audience will see your slide to give them a visual aid, but will spend their time listening to you and not just reading the slide – there is no point in you presenting it otherwise!

Maths: LO: to use references.

One of the things you may have identified when you defined position and direction on Monday could have been the use of maps and grid references. Today I would like you to use grid references when playing a game of battleships, so you will need a partner for this.

If you have the actual game, then you can use that. If not, the below picture can be printed or copied out onto paper and used. Don’t forget, when reading a grid we state the reference on the horizontal axis, and then the reference on the vertical axis (along the corridor and up the stairs).
