This is my presentation and this is around what I said to each slide
Slide 1
I will talk about endangered animals that live in the wild.
There are different classifications of endandered and I am going to explain each one
extinct in the wild
critically endangered
endangered
Slide 2
Extinct in the wild
Alagoas Curassow a bird that lives in zoos in south america particularly brazil.
South China tiger, a subspecies of tiger which apparently all other tigers descend from them originally. They are smaller and more valuable to poachers than the normal tiger.
Slide 3
south china tiger
20 left in captivity around the world
they are dying out. It is the locals in the area that they live that killed them off. They attack the local sheep and livestock and the locals kill them. Their bones are used in traditional medicines and their skins are sold by hunters.
Slide 4
Critically endangered
will decrease by 80% within three generations.
Arakan forest turtle lives in Burma
Brazilian merganser- waterfowl
The black rhino
Slide 5
white vs black
SLide 6

Slide 8
Endangered
blue whale
panda
snow leopard
Slide 9
Giant panda
As well as being very cute they are in danger from logging companies as they only eat bamboo so forest which live in are being cut down very rapidly. Not meant to be herbivore so needs to eat so much so many die lack of food.
Slide 10-What can we do?
we can support the many animal charitys at work in these areas.
We can campaign against logging and deforestation.
We can buy fairtrade products that support these charities too.
Honestly I thought that I did my presentation well as I didn't really read off my script or the board too much as some other people did. I have leant not to put too much text on the slides so I had none at all. I thought that I engaged the audience quite well and that my slides were good because of their simplicity in the stye of Pecha Kucha.
I was given an A grade for my presentation.

Pecha Kucha and presentation
Presentations are sometimes quite hard and there require a lot of nerve to get up on a stage and present to people. some people find them very difficult, whereas some relish the thrill of it. Presentations can be done quite badly by people in high places so it is an important skill in life to be able to do them well as they can be very useful. I enjoy presentations and public speaking and I did manage to win out of the presentations on global issues day. Doing regular speeches in English and many presentations in Geography has helped this but also being involved in public speaking and debating too.
This is link to a very useful page about presentations. The golden rules are to have as little as possible on the slide and to talk about it yourself, to keep it natural and elegant, to suggest or show something and not to just tell it and keeping it to a bare minimum.
There are many presentation making applications such as Microsoft power point, google docs-presentation and slide share. These can all be really good and produce brilliant presentations if they are used well.
This video shows the ways to not do a presentation.
These ways are: to not put every word on each slide because then what is the point of you being there at all; to make sure that you spell check; only have the essential points in bullet points, as they are the essentials and they need to stand out; make sure you sort out your colour schemes as they can make it hard to read and a distraction; don't put too many slides in your presentation; don't have too much data as it gets too complicated; don't have too many animations and entrances as they are distracting; and finally, have a good font that can be read.

Wikipedia
Wikipedia is, as all schoolchildren know, enormous and almost anything can be found on it. If you type in almost anything in google, one of the first pages that will pop up is bound to be a wikipedia page. There are more than 12 million pages in several different languages and 2 million in english alone!. It is the largest free encyclopedia in the world. Contrary to what most teachers would have you believe, wikipedia is actually reliable most of the time. At the end of each page, each editor must write a bibliography of where he or she got their information from. This can help to check for reliability, but another way is by checking its edit history. If people spot mistakes, they should and do correct them if they know for certain that one fact is wrong. This means that if a page has been edited many times, it is generally more reliable than a page that has only one version.
Wikipedia has grown ridiculously since it was made public. I has only been around for 8 years but because everyone chips in in small portions, it has developed into an amazing source for all kinds of knowledge. As H.G. Wells said:
'The time is close at hand when any student, in any part of the world, will be able to sit with his projector in his own study at his or her convenience to examine any book, any document, in exact replica.'
Vannevar bush dreamt of a knowledge machine which could be accessed by anyone. He was dreaming of wikipedia. Tim Burners-Lee wanted all science documents to be published on the web. This ,unfortunately, is not what happened. Science documents are among the only articles not on wikipedia. They are being encouraged to be put on it and this is happening slowly.
Unfortunately, some people want to spoil these dreams of a free encyclopedia by Jimmy wales and the people above. Vandalism happens on wikipedia but the wikipedia team normally notice quite quickly and come down hard on the vandal. Wikipedia has a set of rules which must be obeyed on every edit or new page. These are that every page must have sources, no vandalism, correct facts and don't be afraid to edit a page.
Because so many people edit it, wikipedia can be used as a news source. On the july 7 bombings, people were posting all the information that they could get up there and because it was continuing, it had hundreds of edits in the space of a few hours.
On wikipedia, fewer than 2 % of the users on wikipedia make most of the edits and apparently if 10% of its top users vanished, wikipedia would crumble and be destroyed.
I believe that wikipedia will keep on growing and expanding until eventually, it will fill the dreams of many people.
