Professional Development III//Notes for Presentation.

With the start of third year drawing ever- closer, I decided to make a start on getting my Level 06 presentation ready with making some important notes about achievements and work carried out throughout the summer in order to start putting the presentation together as soon as possible for a well- designed, considered and thorough delivery- including practicing my presentation techniques within the 7-10 minute time constraints.
