Tips to Research People

  1. Review content requirements for visual responses in Writing about Visuals.
  2. Compose a written or oral presentation to express your Visual Response.

  • Use your planning from 3.4 Visual Response Plan to develop introductory, discussion (body), and concluding sections of your response based on feedback to your outline. (TIP)

  • Ensure your ideas and supportive pieces of evidence are well-organized and clear.

  • Composing an introduction can be nerve-wracking. Instead of working on it first, move to the body of the response. Because each section refers to an aspect of your main idea, composing your introduction later might be easier, and introducing something is easier when you know what it is!

Tips for Written Presentations:

  1. After writing your draft, take a break and edit your work later.

  2. Edit your work using a different coloured pen. Consider any revisions or re-wording (spelling, typos, grammar, word choice, etc.) to improve the effectiveness of your response.

  3. Write (or attach) your polished response on ?oePolished Copy? pages of this Workbook.

Tips for Oral Presentations:

  1. Use the ?oerough draft? pages of the workbook to organize your oral presentation.

  2. Before delivering your oral presentation for marking, practice speaking it aloud several times.

  • Have your notes and visual in front of you when speaking.

  • A speaking ?oemap? indicating your order of talking points with evidence for each on or beside the visual may help you stay organized.

  1. Choose one you have not used for a previous assignment as your source of information:
  • an audio file to submit on a memory card, CD, or USB drive
  • a podcast on Spreaker
  • a URL or sound file from another audio recorder
