Learning activity 4

Evidence: My presentation outline

A. Find a topic of personal interest. Imagine you are going to present that topic
orally to your teacher and classmates at school. For this part of the evidence
you need to carry out exhaustive research in order to be able to present all the
necessary information related to your selected topic. Report the most important
aspects of your research through a brainstorm of the ideas and concepts that
you think will be relevant to the presentation.

Brainstorm

Example of topic: Aviation.

Aviation refers to the use of commercial and non-commercial aircrafts

for transportation of people or goods.

The A380, manufactured by the Airbus Industry, is the biggest plane

ever made.

Brainstorm

Topic The telescope

an optical instrument that allows you to observe distant objects in much more detail than
the naked eye by capturing electromagnetic radiation, such as light. It is a fundamental tool
in astronomy, and each development or improvement of this instrument has allowed
advances in our understanding of the universe.
The name "telescope" was proposed by the Greek mathematician Giovanni Demisiani on
April 14, 1611, during a dinner in Rome in honor of Galileo, a meeting in which attendees
could see the moons of Jupiter by means of the apparatus that the famous astronomer had
brought with him.
There are several types of telescopes: refractors, which use lenses; reflectors, which
have a concave mirror in place of the lens of the target, and reflectors, which have a
concave mirror and a correction lens that support a secondary mirror. The reflecting
telescope was invented by Isaac Newton in 1688 and an important advance on the
telescopes of his time by easily correcting the chromatic aberration characteristic of
refracting telescopes.
B. Now, structure your presentation using the Signpost language learnt during this
learning activity. Present your outline through presentation cards. Use as many
cards as you need.

Remember: Each presentation card should include a heading, a

phrase at the bottom, a number and it should be organized by
numbering and bulleting.

(Model)

Aviation
[Heading]

Structure: Im going to divide this talk into five parts.

1. Early beginnings.
2. Civil aviation.
3. Commercial aviation.
4. Modern aircrafts manufacturers:
a. Airbus.
b. Boeing.
c. Embraer.
5. The most famous aircrafts in history:
a. Concorde.
b. Boeing 747.
c. Airbus A380.

Lets turn now to the first part: the early beginnings

of aviation
[Bottom phrase]

Solution:
 The telescope

My subject today is the telescope

STRUCTURE: IM GOING TO DIVIDE THIS TALK INTO FOUR PARTS.

1. DEFINITION.
2. ORIGIN.
3. INVENTOR
4. TELESCOPE CLASSES

Let's now turn to the first part: DEFINITION OF TELESCOPE.

[Get as far as your mind allows]

Let's begin
1. DEFINITION

My subject today is the telescope: the telescope is an optical

instrument that allows you to observe distant objects in much
more detail than the naked eye by capturing electromagnetic
radiation, such as light. It is a fundamental tool in astronomy,
and every development or improvement of this instrument has
allowed advances in our understanding of the universe.

Lets turn now to
2. ORIGIN

The name "telescope" was proposed by the Greek

mathematician Giovanni Demisiani on April 14, 1611, during a
dinner in Rome in honor of Galileo, a meeting in which
attendees could see the moons of Jupiter by means of the
apparatus that the famous astronomer had brought with him.

That's all I have to say about its origin. Basically this was his first
appearance

Now we'll move on to

3. INVENTOR

The reflecting telescope was invented by Isaac Newton in 1688 and an

important advance in the telescopes of his time by easily correcting the
chromatic aberration characteristic of refracting telescopes.

Analysing this point - Where does that lead us?

This leads us to that the patented invention was Newton the others only
gave contributions.

 Lastly

4. TELESCOPE CLASSES

There are several types of telescopes: refractors, which use

lenses; reflectors, which have a concave mirror in place of the
lens of the target, and reflectors, which have a concave mirror
and a correction lens that support a secondary mirror.

Unfortunately, I seem to have run out of time, then. I will conclude very
briefly with the sentence I take at the beginning

C. To complete the evidence, you must now write a complete list of references
using the guidelines given by the American Psychological Association (APA). Do
not forget to organize your references alphabetically.

References

In previous research carried out by SENA students in the area of

electronic maintenance, the origin and classes of telescopes were
announced (FERNANDO GOMES, 2017).
