| Title | Class presentation ideas, ESL specific but adaptable, Part 2 |
| Body | B. Bakin responds to the question: "How have you facilitated class presentations in your classroom?" You might wish to consider having students present a speech about a simple research project that they themselves have conducted in class including the use of diagrams and charts displaying the results. My adult beginning to high students are asked to work in pairs or small teams to choose a research project, collect data, and create charts using Microsoft Excel displaying the data. The final step is to turn the entire project into a brief PowerPoint presentation, which the team must present to the class including fielding and answering questions from the rest of the class. Subjects for their research projects have included: "What size shoes are members of the class wearing on Thursday, March 25?" "How many students arrive at school using what different modes of transportation?" "What countries are students from?" "What was the monthly production of dress sizes at the Ann Taylor factory when I worked there?" "How many M & M's are there of each color in a 1 lb. bag?" All of the team members must participate in the presentation. Bakin, B. (25 Mar. 2004). Re: Presentation topics, speakers, audience, evaluations.
