Introduction

It's showtime! Or more specifically, showcase time! Well, for the learners that it is! This slide deck sets them up to do their showcase presentations on their achievements over the year. This makes a good summer project in that gap between mock exams and the end of the year, in that it gives space for students to reflect and develop their confidence and presentational skills.
