On Monday or Wednesday, you will give your presentation to the class. Be prepared on Monday.

Make sure you:

• Have used at least two reliable sources
• Have a good, clear introduction to the project explaining your title and what you studied
• Clearly explain the relationship between language, identity and this project
• Have professional-looking visual aids with perfect English and spelling and use the visual aids in your presentation; include a visual aid with your title
• Look at the listeners
• Do not read your presentation; speak naturally in phrases and not too fast or slow
• Teach any words the listeners don't know and write them on a visual aid
• Present your ideas in a logical order. Include only relevant details, not all the details you have.
• Answer the questions "who?", "what?", "when?", "where?", "why?" and "how?"
• Have a conclusion that summarizes the main points
• Ask at the end, "Do you have any questions?" 
• Pronounce every word correctly; use English word and sentence stress
• Use correct grammar
• Stand up straight and look confident
