Presentation Outline
It is very important to carefully structure your presentation so that the audience can easily follow and understand you. I suggest the following guidelines:
Introduction – introduce what you will be presenting, let the audience know there will be time for questions at the end
Overview – give a general outline of your presentation
State Points – give your points in logical sequence, giving explanations and exceptions. Make a clear transition between each point.
State results and conclusions
Summarize
Close – relate the beginning of the presentation to the end
Questions – ask the audience if they have any questions

Commonly used phrases
Introduce the topic
Today, I will be talking about ……
As you all know ……..
I’m going to take a look at/examine ……..
Today, I will be concentrating on ……
Overview
The issues I want to mention/discuss …..
It is important to begin by saying …..
There are a number of things to consider when looking at the issue of…….

Comment: I am afraid this is not a pass. You "must" put your TL in the pre-plan info. Also; 10 phrases max is enough for one lesson. you provide too much TL inc idioms, vocab, phrases etc. Then you need to follow the correct staging: i.e. concept questions go after teaching meaning of the TL in the presentation stage. They are to check sts understanding after teaching meaning. Then you spend too much time leading up to the presentation stage. A warmer & lead in should take a total of 7 mins no more.

Also; in the presentation stage is where you explain how you teach meaning, form & pron of the new TL.

If you are going to use video's to teach TL then I need you to send me the link so I can view it, thanks.
