The+powerpoint

= Some extra guidance on the powerpoint for your upcoming assessment task... =

The powerpoint is intended to **support** you whilst you are giving your speech. This is a list of some of the information I would expect to see on each slide.


 * The topic sentence you are addressing
 * The quote from the text you are using
 * A key word from your explanation of the importance of your topic sentence in relation to answering the question.

Thus, all your key information should be on the powerpoint and you simply need to expand that information into full sentences.

Think of the speech as you **teaching** the seven other people in the room about **your interpretation** of the play.

EXAMPLE OF A POSSIBLE SLIDE- links to info in "Shoe-horn Sonata speech guidelines" and uses structure 4 in "Structuring your response"

Section of speech to accompany slides...

Slide 1 "Misto uses Distinctively Visual techniques to show the audience that having a voice and being acknowledged by the world is central to overcoming suffering. The first image of the play is conveyed through the stage direction 'Darkness. Out of the silence comes the voice of Bridie.' The prioritised position of this image as the very first in the play demonstrates its importance. The darkness is representative of the mental and emotional state of the women- they are trapped in their own pasts; however, the meaning of the visual image is expanded upon by the addition of the voice of Bridie. Being heard and having a voice demonstrates the empowerment being able to talk about their experiences gives the women, allowing them to overcome the suffering in their pasts."

Slide 2 "Symbolism allows the audience to see invisible, abstract concepts. The documentary that frames the women's experiences, first realised with the line 'An on air sign becomes apparent' is symbolic of their ability to finally gain acknowledgement and validation from Australian society and the world. As the play continues, the power of this acknowledgement and validation is developed by further by the healing process we see in the relationship of Bridie and Sheila... [etc]

Slide 3 (not in .pptx) ==== I would then talk about how the same idea (Having a voice and being acknowledged by the world is central to overcoming suffering.) is represented using Distinctively Visual techniques in my RELATED TEXT. ====
