Complete a Pre-Presentation form and return it to Madelyn (mpetrovi@unca.edu) or bring it by the Study Abroad Office after you confirm presentation time/date.
Introduction (name, culture & how you experienced it, relationship to UNC Asheville, (ex: what you study, extracurricular activities, etc.).
Introduce the culture: Where is it experienced? Include a map of where it is in the world. How long does it take to travel there?
At least one media file on each slide. Reduce the amount of text to a minimum and use photos, music, internet resources, & film clips to discuss your culture. Personal pictures are the best! Make it appealing: Fonts, Color, Background, Animation!
Include at least one activity per 15 minutes. Remember the maximum of a kid’s attention span (check your handbook): get them moving, talking, singing, or making something. Or have your whole presentation based around an activity!
In relation to specific requests, consider the following: is it age appropriate, can you incorporate what the teacher is teaching or what the Standard Course of Study requires?
Think about timing. Is your presentation long enough? Short enough? It is always better to have some material up there at the end than standing up there with nothing left to say!
Information to be left (a copy of your presentation, additional evaluation form & a way for students and the teacher to continue correspondence with you).
