Today you will
- run your format 1 all the way through with a partner
- check that your backup copies open on the classroom machine
- write a short VET readiness page
This lesson finishes Module 2.
Picture the interview room. What one thing would make you feel ready when you open your file on someone else's machine?
If you don't have format 1 yet, tell your teacher straight away.
Key words
Format 1 is the finished piece from your Something Real project, like a slide deck or a video.
A dress rehearsal is a full run, out loud, just like the real interview.
A publication copy is a PDF, MP4 or MP3 that opens on any machine.
Your VET readiness check is a short page on what is ready and what needs a fix.
Under the first heading you might write: [Your project name], five-slide deck, file {{code:sm2_ka1_format1.pptx}}.
Common issues
- My file won't open. Open your PDF, MP4 or MP3 copy from {{code:sm2}} instead.
- The big screen cuts off my slides. Start the slideshow or video in full screen before you speak.
- I freeze or run too long. Practise just your opening line twice, then start again.
- I have no PDF, MP4 or MP3 copy. Tell your teacher at the start of the rehearsal.
Your goal
Run your format 1 all the way through with a partner, just like on interview day.
- Open your format 1 from {{code:Project_Portfolio}}, then {{code:09_specialism}}, then {{code:sm2}}.
- Start it properly. In PowerPoint, click {{btn:Slideshow}}. In Google Slides, click {{btn:Present}}. For a video or audio clip, check the volume, then go back to the start.
- Partner A stands and presents for 2 to 3 minutes. Partner B listens without interrupting.
- Partner B gives two notes: one strength and one thing to improve.
- Swap roles and do it again.
On a Chromebook, don't press {{kbd:F5}}, because it reloads the page.
Success criteria
- I ran my piece from start to finish.
- My file started cleanly.
- I gave my partner one strength and one fix.
