Student Example

Five reasons why I like this example for researching media Source information – YouTube videos

  1. Good selection of videos
  2. Description is easy to understand
  3. FOI – are varied (different) not too lengthy; remember you can go back to the video for any information you need later
  4. Short and concise recorded information – note taking
  5. Time is recorded

Compile a Speech

Review: You have prepared the current Research PowerPoint with two video sources from YouTube, based on a sport topic.

  1. Title of Video 1 slide
  2. Short description of the event slide – introduction
  3. FOI slides – as many slides as you need (max 7)
  4. Reference slide – copy and past the video URL
  5. Title of Video 2 slide
  6. Short description of the event slide – introduction
  7. FOI slides – as many slides as you need (max 7)
  8. Reference slide – copy and past the video URL

Activity Objective: The next process is to Compile Speech PowerPoint – this is a very important skill to learn.

Slides (1 to 4) and information you will need to prepare:

  1. New Title & Combined Description: based on the content you use (make last)
  2. Content A: select FOI
  3. Content B: select FOI
  4. Conclusion Slide

Speaking Procedure: you only have 90seconds and 4 slides (no pictures only text) so follow the below steps as before:

  • Reading text is black
  • Highlight the speech text in blue
  • Categorize your content; (1)Title & Description; (2)Content A; (3)Content B; (4)Conclusion – therefore 4 audio files (total 90 seconds)

Content Process: How to select and use the content you have. You can choose to present the best way possible – so experiment different ways;

  1. Select Content A (video 1) and record
  2. Select Content B (video 2) and record
  3. OR combine (video 1 & 2) Content A; and combine (video 1 & 2) Content B

Self Evaluate – Rubric Procedure: The score pane outlines least (1) to maximum score (between 5 to 10). When we use a rubric in an activity to improve our schoolwork, please follow these rules:

  • a score of 1 = something not done (yet)
  • a score of 2 = something done incorrectly
  • a score of 3 = weak point – needs more work
  • other scores = strengths and do not need more work

Audio Recording

Aim: To submit an audio recording of your speech (not video).

Aim: To submit an audio recording of your speech (not video). You can use LINE voice memo (easy – click on the microphone to start recording, and un-click to stop recording (See screenshot), or an application (voice record app).

Method: To effectively record and submit your speech by using the following methods:

PowerPoint: To divide your information into categories and record (See example below). It is more effective to group data (information), however you can select to record 1 file, two files, three files – the choice is yours. Example:

  • Category 1: Introduction; Reason; Importance
  • Category 2: Description and Main Point 1
  • Category 3: Other Main Points

Example LINE upload screenshot – total time 90seconds:

Upload Process: this process requires you to record your speech (audio) and upload your files to the teacher in LINE. However there is one small problem. “In the case of students using smartphones and access to the university WIFI, interconnect ability may result in some issues that result in poor performance .” (2020). Therefore The following time schedule will be followed:

  1. 13:00 – 13:30 Review work and prepare
  2. 13:30 – 13:45 Recording Time A (there will be no talking / discussion in class – only recording)
  3. 13:45 – 14:10 Review work and prepare
