DIRECTIONS: You are going to form 2 circles (one inside and one outside) as you can see in the picture so that you and your pair can face each other. You are going to discuss the question that I am going to ask you with your partner by taking turns. When I say “Rotate,” students on the outside will move one space to the right so they are sitting in front of a new person. Each time I ask a new question, the process is going to be repeated. At the end of the activity, we are going to have a whole class discussion. This is a great opportunity to share your ideas with others and hear new ideas that you haven’t thought of before starting doing your project, so use your time wisely.

Fortunately, in different places and at different times, there were always people who achieved extraordinary things to solve these problems. They courageously spent their lives helping others without considering the risks they are taking and in one way or the other, they all helped to change the world; to make it a better place for us to live. For this reason, they are considered as heroes – people whom we admire and respect because they have helped others often risking their own lives and inspired others with the values they stand by.

GLOBAL LITERACY PROJECT 2: MY HERO PRESENTATION

Each of us has role models who have inspired us: our heroes. They may not be famous but they are extraordinary leaders who have helped shape our world. They have helped us define, develop, and live by values such as kindness, generosity, perseverance, forgiveness and peace.

For this project, your first task is to identify your hero. While doing this, try not to choose a celebrity, but someone who inspired you with the values you stand by and who helped you be who you are today. Please keep in mind that celebrities attract our curiosity while real heroes send us to the source of their vision and dreams.

TIPS FOR CREATING EFFECTIVE PRESENTATIONS

·

  • Read the narration after you type it to make sure that it flows smoothly, makes sense, stays ‘on the message,’ and has a strong ending. Then, share it with your teacher.
  • Be selective when choosing the font of your text. Font type can heighten the mood of the trailer.
  • Make sure that the visuals match the script.
  • After you finish narration, adjust narration and music. Music is as important as the image. It manipulates our emotions so you must be very careful in your choice of music for your video and use it wisely. You should also keep in mind that music can overtake a story if overused or overplayed. Make sure your music supplements your story, appealing to emotions.

TIPS FOR CREATING EFFECTIVE PRESENTATIONS

·

· ·

  • Be careful to limit the number of text on your slides. Sometimes one word can describe a scene better than a whole sentence.
  • Using technology effectively and creatively is important but our priority is on the digital story that you are going to create. You are expected to create an original and memorable story that stays ‘on message’ and that appeals to your audience emotionally. Telling a weak story with the help of technology will have no effect on your audience.
  • On the last slide of your presentation, be sure to give credit for all of the content that you used (quotes, images, music) together with your name.
  • Watch your presentation with a friend for final adjustments.
