To begin, what is DIY?
DIY means Do It Yourself is the method of building, modifying, or repairing something without the

GUIDELINES
1.

2.
Each girl must present her instructional writing.
3.
Everyone must participate in the activity.
4.
All due dates must be met.
5.

6.

Individual Writing
7.
Preparation is the key to giving an effective presentation and to controlling your

nervousness. Know your topic well. You will be the expert on the topic in the classroom.
Good preparation and the realization that you are the expert will boost your selfconfidence. After your research, you will find that you know much more about your topic
than you will have time to present. That is a good thing. It will allow you to compose a good
introduction, to distill out the main, most important points that need to be made, and to finish
with a strong conclusion.
Know your topic (become an expert)
Learn as much about the topic as you can to boost your self-confidence
Prepare an outline of topic. Bullet or number the main points
Write out your presentation if you need to organize your thoughts, but then
outline this text for the actual presentation.
7. The infographic must be included to enhance your presentation.
Keep visual aids simple and uncluttered.
Use color and contrast for emphasis but use them in moderation
Use a font large enough to be seen from the back of the room
The pictures must be yours

Important! The infographic must be sent by google classroom to your
teacher at least 24 hours in advance of your presentation.
8.
You need to practice giving your presentation to yourself. Speak out loud and time
yourself. Practice using your visual aids. It is absolutely important that you calculate your
time limit. Your goal is to inform, not overwhelm. In this case, less can be more.
9.
To deliver your presentation you will have to overcome your nervousness and deal with room
conditions. Good preparation should allay most of your nervousness; realizing that everyone
feels nervous before a presentation should also help. Be prepared for something to go
wrong and have a backup plan.
