## Project: Societies

You will give a spoken presentation introducing the 'wow' factor! What is the 'wow' factor

This is when your audience is impressed.
Perhaps it is your delivery? Or the way you creatively present your slides?
Or perhaps how you move from slide to slide. Or how about a little known fact that makes even the most disinterested member of your class sit up!
No matter what it is, this project needs the wow factor!
You are going to do a presentation about a different society.
Consider the different ways of living, economic system, beliefs and other differences. Compare either with your own society, or you could compare and contrast two different societies. Here are some topics to choose from, but you can choose another idea of your own:

- The Quechas
- The Amish
- The Bajua

- Gather your ideas about your society and make a slideshow to illustrate your points. You should only use a maximum of five slides.
- Practise your presentation. You can use notes but you should not read them out.
Try to include some information that will wow your audience!
- Practise your presentation with your partner. Did your partner go ‘wow’? If not, find out some information that will make them go wow!
- Then give your talk to your class. Your talk should last no longer than three minutes.
If you are working on your own, then you can make a video of yourself doing your presentation.
- Share it with your class and present it.
- Share it on your social media sites.
