Oral Presentation
Overview
Oral Presentations are the ultimate challenge in Envirothon competition. Team members are required to work together to develop and stage a ten minute presentation on a scenario related to the current issue topic for the year. In Kansas, Oral Presentations are not used at regional events, but are a mandatory element at the Kansas Envirothon competition. Presentations will need to be on a flash drive and handed in the day of competition.
The Process
1. Oral Presentation is required for all teams competing in the Kansas Envirothon competition. 100 points are possible for a ten-minute presentation.
2. Presentation notes may only be printed on 3x5 index cards.
3. Visual aides may consist of digital media including power point presentations created by the team. No movies or video clips will be included in the power points. These visual aides are intended to be used as an adjunct to the Oral Presentation and not as the actual presentation. Please bring a copy of your presentation to registration and have it on a flash drive., we will return it to you after the competition.
4. Each team will also be given a team number at the time of registration. The team will only identify themselves by this number when giving their presentation.
5. It is the Kansas Envirothon Committee’s intention that this presentation be researched, written and the power point prepared by the team members. Follow up questions from the judges will not be able to be used to further assess the student’s actual knowledge of the subject.
6. A portion of each team’s presentation score will be based on equal participation of ALL TEAM MEMBERS. Each team member is expected to take an active role in the oral presentation.
7. Scoring will be based on the enclosed Team Presentation Scoring and Judging Criteria
8. Teams will receive the judges’ scoring sheets. - View the Score Sheet
