a presentation which shows signs of plagiarism will be failed!
To be prepared for your classmates…
 presentation
o length: 5-7 minutes per person
o important: do NOT read the whole text aloud AND at the same time do NOT learn the text
by heart – rather prepare an outline of the presentation (“osnova”) which you follow –
that will make it easier for the listeners to follow
o speak slowly and clearly, don’t forget about eye contact
 handout / worksheet
o 1 page A5 per person
o include the most important pieces of information, list new vocabulary (including
pronunciation)
