Mini Lesson
This is it — the very last lesson of Grade 1 Technology! Today you are going to do what every real inventor does at the end of their project: stand up and present your invention idea to an audience.
What a great oral presentation sounds like
- Start with a confident greeting: "Hello! My name is ___ and today I will present my invention."
- State your invention's name and what it does in one sentence.
- Explain the problem it solves and who it helps.
- Describe how it works — including any smart or AI features.
- End with: "Thank you for listening. Do you have any questions?"
Presentation skills to practice
- Hold your visual up clearly so the audience can see it.
- Point to each part of your drawing as you describe it.
- Speak slowly and loudly enough for everyone to hear.
- Look at your audience as much as you can — not just at the paper.
- Be proud — you have worked hard and your idea matters!

- How to use devices safely, kindly, and honestly.
- How to create digital art, recordings, and stories.
