Student Instructions:
Boost student confidence and deepen class understanding by organizing student-led presentations. Sharing posters encourages public speaking, active listening, and peer learning.
Explain your criteria for presentations, such as speaking clearly, referencing poster details, and answering basic questions. Students know what to focus on and feel more prepared.
Assign presentation order in advance or let students volunteer. Short, predictable time slots help students feel less anxious and keep the class energized.
Give students a simple feedback form or ask them to write down one new fact they learned from each presenter. This keeps everyone engaged and fosters a positive classroom community.
Highlight unique posters and thoughtful presentations. Positive recognition motivates students to take pride in their work and participate more actively.
