Assignment for weeks 9 & 10

·        Think of a special education technique, method or tool that you can demonstrate (and possibly teach) to your classmates. Choose something practical, not theoretical.

·        You can use any format to demonstrate your technique, e.g. a poster or a PowerPoint presentation, and you can bring in aids. 

·        Make it about seven minutes long. If you work in a pair, your presentation should be about 12 minutes long. Share the speaking time equally!

·        Make your presentation interactive – involve the audience!

·        Consider all the points discussed in the How to present handout and keep them in mind while planning and preparing your demonstration.
