Individual researched presentation – WJECThe five set themes
In an individual researched presentation you will need to give a presentation in front of an audience. You’ll need to research your topic beforehand and may need to answer questions from the audience.
Your exam board, the WJEC, has already decided in advance which five topics you can choose from for the subject of your presentation. It is important that you think carefully before deciding which topic to discuss. The more interested you are in your chosen topic, the more likely you are to enjoy the actual presentation and the less nervous you will be. Your choice of topics are:
Wales
leisure
the world of work
the world of science/technology
citizenship
As each presentation is expected to be between five and seven minutes long (including time to respond to questions from members of the audience) it is important that you pick a topic about which you have plenty to say.
Below are some suggestions for ideas you may wish to include in your presentation.
Wales
The history of Wales.
The geography of Wales.
Literary heritage (for example, Dylan Thomas).
Famous bands and musicians.
Sporting legends.
Artists of Wales.
The Welsh coast.
Leisure
The importance of leisure time on mental and physical health.
Discussing your own hobby.
The leisure industry in Wales.
The world of work
Your own particular choice of future career.
Important jobs in the world of work, such as doctors or lawyers.
The world of science/technology
The benefits and dangers of the internet.
The advantages of new technology.

Citizenship
Global health.
The obstacles girls in some countries have to overcome in order to get an education.
