Reggae music in context, a presentation

Last week, we covered Gothic art through the ages with our students in 4th ESO A.

Today, we are looking at reggae music with our 4th ESO B students.

It was a bit of a short session, and that shows in the different degrees of concision we can see on the different slides.

Take a look and feel free to add your comments.

Gothic art through the ages, a presentation

Some of the students in 4th ESO A have been working on this presentation this morning. With a little help from the teacher, this is the final result.

It is a useful way to understand how a presentation needs to be made:

• Clear
• Simple
• Easy to read

Please understand that the majority of the text is NOT on the presentation, but on the notes and words expressed by the person presenting the topic.

A presentation is not a text, it is a SUMMARY which can complement the basic information with images, videos, audio, graphs, etc.

We will be making some more. For now, this is the work we did today.

Enjoy and learn the origin of this love of the dark...
