Fast Exercise - Presentations

On the morning of our presentation we really thought that our presentation was going to be a failure, as two of our group members didn't turn up.

It came to about quarter past eleven, and everything that could have gone wrong had. The man from the windmill was meant to open for us so the school children could have the treasure hunt around the displays didn't turn up. Not that this really mattered anymore because the school children didn't either! Anyway, at about twenty past eleven Jools, arrived with about 20 other people from our class. Yes, there are people, but they aren't eight year olds that would benefit from the style of our presentation! Needless to say, we carried on as if they were this age, and it was really successful. Even though everyone in the group was over 18, they were excited about finding the dough people around the park. When everyone had found these people, we made everyone get in a circle and read out their clues on the dough people. Then we quizzed everyone on George Green's life, and they had to match their dough clue with the appropriate question. This worked well, and i could have seen it being a success with the children too!

Dominic, Su and I thought this was a really good idea. It seemed to us to be a really good way of engaging your target audience. The strength of the diea is that we could still see it despite all the difficulties you discuss.
