Formative Assignment – Presentation
This is a 5 minute presentation using PowerPoint to explore your
scenario you have developed from your practice experience. The scenario is to
describe an event where you worked with another practitioner from another
occupation. It is suggested that you use a maximum of 2 PowerPoint slides to
keep within the timeframe.
Feedback from students and the module leader will focus on your
scenario, not on your presentation style. Feedback will be constructive and
developmental, and will enable you to form your final, summative, written
assignment.

experience. Your scenario will focus on working with another practitioner
from a different occupation.

onone piece of work that you

Useful questions to help you structure your description:
What happened? What was the situation? What was my
role? What did I plan to achieve? What did I do? Who was present? What was
their role? What did they do? How did it end?
Do not attempt to explore how you, or others, may
have felt in your description.
Guidance
Notes: Critical Reflection on the scenario
This should reflect (using the first person ‘I’) on what your scenario
describes.
Useful questions to help you structure your critical reflection:
What was I thinking during the event, and after the event?
What was I feeling during and after the event? What do I think about those
who were present? How did others make me feel? How did the ending make me
feel?
The essay needs consider the following themes and explore them only if
they are relevant to your scenario (all may be relevant, or only some,
depending on your experience):

Relate clearly to
your scenario

you can use that learning to improve your practice in future.
Citations (In-text referencing):
Your essay will not be a critical reflection unless you link your ideas to
evidence (proof of reading) with in-text referencing. You will lose marks for
‘knowledge’ (a big part of what you are marked against) without providing
in-text, and end of essay, references.
Word count – you can lose marks
without providing a word count

Good luck. We will go through this together during the module and you
