Preparation + Part One
Supervised preparation time - 20 minutes 
The student is presented with two extracts (one from each of two literary works studied during the course) ... chooses one of them ... and then prepares a presentation (i.e. makes a plan in brief working notes)


Part 1: Presentation - 3–4 minutes
The student gives the presentation - which must be mainly focused on the "events, ideas and messages in the extract itself".

Slide 8 - Quiz

advice for presentation
> find an 'angle' .... discuss an issue / take a position - don't just describe what is perfectly obvious. Remember that, from the examiner's point of view, argued opinions and analysis are 'complex' ideas.
> think out and PLAN ... where are you going to start (and why?) ... where are you going to finish (and why?) ... how are you going to link your ideas together, moving clearly and sensibly from one idea to the next ... ?
> INTRO & CONCL ... have an Introduction (including a Map - a quick summary of what you are going to say, to help the examiner grasp the structure), and a Conclusion (you shouldn't just stop!).

Slide 9 - Slide

Have a look at criterion B1
Criterion B1: How relevant are the ideas to the literary extract?
1–2 • The presentation is mostly irrelevant to the literary extract.
• The candidate makes superficial use of the extract. Observations and opinions are
generalized, simplistic and mostly unsupported.
3–4 • The presentation is mostly relevant to the literary extract.
• The candidate makes competent use of the literary extract. Some observations and
opinions are developed and supported with reference to the extract.
5–6 • The presentation is consistently relevant to the literary extract and is convincing.
• The candidate makes effective use of the extract. Observations and opinions are
effectively developed and supported with reference to the extract.

Slide 10 - Slide

Now listen to the sample extract (part one) and decide how many points you would give this candidate.

Slide 13 - Poll

examiner's comments
Crit.B1 (presentation) - 6/6

The presentation appears well organized, as suggested by the plan introduced from 0’20”. There is a clear initial summary followed by a statement of the overall message, and leading to “two perspectives” (0’32”-0’46”). Interpretations and arguments are explained clearly and efficiently; and personal experience is introduced, from 2’30” onwards. There is sensible use of references and direct quotations. There is a conclusion: “To sum up…”, from 3’06” on.

Slide 14 - Slide
