Segment 1: Why use student presentations in your classroom?

Students should learn to get good at (and enjoy) public speaking
Extremely powerful learning happens when you have to teach something to someone else
Good for task-based learning – students explain how to perform a skill – class watches and repeats
Good for classroom management – teach students to respect each other
Building student confidence
