Getting your driver's licence

In this exercise, Part A must be completed, and approved by your teacher before you begin Part B.

As a senior student atAorere College, you have been asked to give a five minute talk to a group of Year 9 and 10 students at an assembly, entitled Gaining Your Driver's Licence.

Part A: Design

Use a word processor to answer the following:

  1. Identify the presentation topic, purpose, and target audience.
  2. If you were to give such a talk, what equipment and software applications would you need to create the presentation?
  3. What equipment and software applications would you need to deliver the presentation?
  4. You are to be paid for creating the presentation at a rate of $10 per hour. The budget is limited. Starting from today, give an estimate of the cost and completion date for your presentation. You will be held to the completion date.
  5. Print this document.
  6. Now, use the outlining feature of PowerPoint to plan 8–12 slides for your presentation. Remember that these should be brief, rather than trying to convey complex information. Summarise where possible. A good rule of thumb is no more than six words per line. The person making the presentation will give the speech, and your slideshow should complement it.
  7. Print your outline.

Part B: Create the presentation

Once your teacher has approved Part A, go ahead and create your presentation. The following points must be taken into consideration:

  1. The content of the slides must meet the design specification.
  2. The presentation of content should ensure effective communication:
  3. The organisation of the slides should also ensure effective communication:

Slide transition effects must be used to maintain audience attention.
