For Mentors - DELTA Success Summer 2021

Final Presentation Requirements

• Every student is required to present for 5-7 minutes at the end of the program.

• They can pick their own topic and get approval from their mentor prior to the end of the program. There's no limit on what topics to choose from. However, we want students to present something that is personal to them so that they can share their own thoughts. In the past, we have students submitting their topics such at:

  1. My journey of studying English

  2. My hobby: Home gardening

  3. The story about my community project

  4. My special recipe for my dish

  5. My tips for studying Math effectively

• Content:

  1. The presentation can be an informative presentation, a community project summary presentation, or a teaching-style presentation.

  2. Some requirements for content: Students must include the following items as part of their introduction before starting talking about their topic.

     1. Introduction: Name, grade, why you join the program.

     2. What have you improved the most from the past 10 weeks?

     3. What is your plan for studying English and/or life skills after the program?

     4. How effective did you carry out your 10-week plan? Are there any areas that you would like to change if you can do it all over again?

     5. If applicable, what community project have you've involved in, and what was the outcome?

• The length of the presentation is about 5-7 minutes. They can choose to use visual aids (for example picture slides, videos, PowerPoint) to support their presentation. There will be a 5-minute Q&A after.

• The audience would be student mentors, other DELTA Students, and a few other mentors from AASuccess. We will also have some US AASuccess students joining the presentation as well.

• The rubric: Students will be graded based on the following areas: (1 = needs improvement, 5 = very good)

  1. CONTENT: The extent to which the student appropriately introduced himself/herself, the topic to be presented, and clearly present the content of the presentation.

  2. ORGANIZATION: The extent to which the presentation was organized in a logical manner.

  3. VOICE: The extent to which the volume, pronunciation, and tone were effective, and the rate of speech was appropriate
