FLX 4-H

Finger Lakes District 4-H Public Presentation Training

Welcome to the Finger Lakes District Public Presentation Training Website

The Public Presentations Program is one of 4-H’s most beneficial and rewarding experiences.  It is the one most often credited by 4-H alumni as having given them an edge above peers in both college and professional careers.  It provides a unique opportunity to develop a positive self-concept and poise, gain self-confidence before a group, learn to express ideas clearly, respond spontaneously to questions, and gain subject matter knowledge.  Through a progressive series of communication activities, youth learn to express themselves and their ideas.

The purpose of this website is to familiarize you with scoring Public Presentations using a Rubric specific to each category.

It is our suggestion that you:

  • Choose a category
  • Print and review the rubric and score sheet
  • Watch a video & score it
  • Compare your scores with those posted

*note the sample scores sheets were judged by two separate evaluators and scores vary. This should be expected and can lead to discussion in your group training.
