Types of Presentations:
Let's start by exploring the different types
of presentations. These are some examples:
Informative
Storytelling
Event recounts
Persuasive
1. Informative
These presentations give information and facts about a
specific topic, for example, an animal or a destination.
Example
“The Life Cycle of a Butterfly”
Good morning, everyone! Today, we'll learn about
butterflies! They go through a process called
metamorphosis. Starting as tiny eggs, they turn into
caterpillars. After a rest in a cozy cocoon, they
emerge as beautiful butterflies.
2. Storytelling
Storytelling presentations involve sharing a story with a
beginning, middle and end. You could tell a fictional story or even
a personal experience.
Example
“The Adventures of Pixie the Cat”
Today’s story is about Pixie, a playful and brave cat. When her
friend Tabby got lost, Pixie went on an adventure through the
neighbourhood to find her. She met a scary pitbull and made
new friends on the way. It’s a story of courage and friendship!
3. Event Recounts
Event recounts retell personal experiences. This can be
a fun trip or a special event. They usually include
feelings about the event.
Example
“Our Fantastic School Fair”
It was a day filled with rides, games and lots of laughter.
We went on exciting rides, played fun games and watched
amazing performances. When the sun set, we even had
fireworks! It was a day of pure joy for everyone.
4. Persuasive
These presentations aim to convince others to agree with
your point of view. For example, to convince friends to join
a club or to choose a certain book to read.
Example
“Why our School needs a Garden”
I think we should have a garden at our school. It will help
students develop gardening skills, patience and perseverance.
We can all work together to make it really cool and special.
Let's talk to our teachers and make it happen!
