In this lesson you are applying what you already built. You will present this collaborative work again: in a workplace briefing, an interview, an open day, a course application. The content barely changes. Who is listening does.
A beat is one move in the presentation: one claim, one piece of evidence, or one ask. Today you sort the beats of that presentation for two audiences, then choose the three you would lead with for each. The stakeholder wants the issue. The interviewer wants you.
Open your Collaborative Task Presentation document now. If you do not have it, use the shared beat cards on the interactive and treat those ten beats as your presentation when you write Presentation Audience Shift.
Three terms lock the sort you are about to do. Read them once, then keep them beside you while you place each beat. Remember: a beat is one move in the presentation (one claim, one piece of evidence, or one ask).
| Term | What it means for you | Real example |
|---|---|---|
| Audience: the people who will actually hear or read what you present, with their own knowledge, priorities and power to act. | Every beat in your presentation either serves this listener or wastes their time. | A local residents' association AGM hearing a proposal versus an ETB Further Education interview panel hearing a sixty-second introduction |
| Stakeholder: someone with a real interest in the issue or the solution, not in your personal story. | Lead with the problem, the evidence, the cost and the ask. | A Tidy Towns committee chair listening to your group's community proposal |
| Interviewer: someone deciding about you: what you did, how you think, whether you would be useful. | Lead with your role, your evidence and what you learned about yourself. | A SOLAS apprenticeship panel asking about your role in a collaborative project |
Part 1: the sort (about 15 minutes). On the interactive, drag each presentation beat into one of four columns: Stakeholder, Interviewer, Both, or Cut. These beats stand in for the ones in your own collaborative presentation: cost, local detail, process, your STAR role, the personal reason you picked the issue, and the rest. After a short whole-class look at two or three borderline cards, complete your own four-column sort with the person beside you. Argue the borderline cards. A card that could go either way is where the lesson lands.
Part 2: your portfolio write (about 20 minutes). Open a document called Presentation Audience Shift in your Strand 2.1 folder. Copy your four columns from the sort (not a shared class answer). Then, using your own Collaborative Task Presentation where you have it, or the ten shared beats as your presentation if you do not:
Save that document in your Digital Portfolio under Strand 2.1. It is supporting process evidence for Portfolio in Action: it shows how you adapt collaborative presentation work for different listeners. It is the shape you will use the next time somebody asks you to present the same work to a different room.
Talk these through with the person beside you, or sit with them quietly for a minute.
Today you planned how to adapt one presentation for two different rooms.
Optional stretch: rewrite the opening thirty seconds of your presentation twice, once for each audience, and add both openings under the same document.
