Student presentations

In this article I would like to give you a few tips and some advice on what I've learned from helping students prepare and deliver presentations.

Student presentations - speaking article

  • Why I get students to do presentations
  • Syllabus fit
  • Planning a presentation lesson
  • Classroom Management

Why I get students to do presentations Presentations are a great way to have students practise all language systems areas (vocabulary, grammar, discourse and phonology) and skills (speaking, reading, writing and listening). They also build confidence, and presenting is a skill that most people will need in the world of work. I find that students who are good presenters are better communicators all round, since they are able to structure and express their ideas clearly.

  • Presentation skills are extremely useful both in and outside the classroom. After completing a project, a presentation is a channel for students to share with others what they have learned. It is also a chance to challenge and expand on their understanding of the topic by having others ask questions. And in the world of work, a confident presenter is able to inform and persuade colleagues effectively.
  • Presentations can also form a natural part of task based learning. By focussing on a particular language point or skill, the presentation is a very practical way to revise and extend book, pair and group work. The audience can also be set a task, for example, a set of questions to answer on the presentation, which is a way of getting students to listen to each other.

Syllabus fit Normally the presentation will come towards the end of a lesson or series of lessons that focus on a particular language or skill area. It is a type of freer practice. This is because the students need to feel relatively confident about what they are doing before they stand up and do it in front of other people. If I have been teaching the past simple plus time phrases to tell a story, for example, I give my students plenty of controlled and semi controlled practice activities, such as gapfills, drills and information swaps before I ask them to present on, say, an important event in their country's history, which involves much freer use of the target grammar point.

Planning a presentation lesson Normally a presentation lesson will have an outline like this:

  • Revision of key language areas
  • Example presentation, which could be from a textbook or given by the teacher
  • Students are given a transcript or outline of the presentation
  • Students identify key stages of the example presentation – greeting, introduction, main points in order of importance, conclusion
  • Focus on linking and signalling words ('Next…', 'Now I'd like you to look at…', etc.). Students underline these in the transcript/place them in the correct order
  • Students are put into small groups and write down aims
  • Students then write down key points which they order, as in the example
  • Students decide who is going to say what and how
  • Students prepare visuals (keep the time for this limited as too many visuals become distracting)
  • Students practise at their tables
  • Students deliver the presentations in front of the class, with the audience having an observation task to complete (see 'Assessment' below)
  • The teacher takes notes for feedback later

It is important that the students plan and deliver the presentations in groups at first, unless they are extremely confident and/or fluent. This is because:

  • Shy students cannot present alone
  • Students can support each other before, during and after the presentation
  • Getting ready for the presentation is a practice task in itself
  • When you have a large class, it takes a very long time for everyone to present individually!

I find it's a good idea to spend time training students in setting clear aims. It is also important that as teachers we think clearly about why we are asking students to present.

Aims Presentations normally have one or more of the following aims:

  • To inform/ raise awareness of an important issue
  • To persuade people to do something
  • Form part of an exam, demonstrating public speaking/presentation skills in a first or second language

I set students a task where they answer these questions:

  • Why are you making the presentation?
  • What do you want people to learn?
  • How are you going to make it interesting?

Let's say I want to tell people about volcanoes. I want people to know about why volcanoes form and why they erupt. This would be an informative/awareness-raising presentation. So by the end, everyone should know something new about volcanoes, and they should be able to tell others about them. My plan might look like this:

  • Introduction - what is a volcano? (2 minutes)
  • Types of volcano (5 minutes)
  • Volcanoes around the world (2 minutes)
  • My favourite volcano (2 minutes)
  • Conclusion (2-3 minutes)
  • Questions (2 minutes)

Classroom Management I find that presentation lessons pass very quickly, due the large amount of preparation involved. With a class of 20 students, it will probably take at least 3 hours. With feedback and follow-up tasks, it can last even longer. I try to put students into groups of 3 or 4 with classes of up to 20 students, and larger groups of 5 or 6 with classes up to 40. If you have a class larger than 40, it would be a good idea to do the presentation in a hall or even outside.

Classroom management can become difficult during a presentations lesson, especially during the final presenting stage, as the presenters are partly responsible for managing the class! There are a few points I find effective here:

  • Training students to stand near people who are chatting and talk 'through' the chatter, by demonstration
  • Training students to stop talking if chatter continues, again by demonstration
  • Asking for the audience's attention ('Can I have your attention please?')
  • Setting the audience an observation task, which is also assessed by the teacher
  • Limiting the amount of time spent preparing visuals
  • Arranging furniture so everyone is facing the front

Most of these points are self-explanatory, but I will cover the observation task in more detail in the next section, which deals with assessment. 

Assessment The teacher needs to carefully consider the assessment criteria, so that s/he can give meaningful feedback. I usually run through a checklist that covers:

  • Level - I can't expect Elementary students to use a wide range of tenses or vocabulary, for example, but I'd expect Advanced students to have clear pronunciation and to use a wide range of vocabulary and grammar
  • Age - Younger learners do not (normally) have the maturity or general knowledge of adults, and the teacher's expectations need to reflect this
  • Needs - What kind of students are they? Business English students need to have much more sophisticated communication skills than others. Students who are preparing for an exam need to practise the skills that will be assessed in the exam.

I write a list of language related points I'm looking for. This covers:

  • Range / accuracy of vocabulary
  • Range / accuracy of grammar
  • Presentation / discourse management- is it well structured? What linking words are used and how?
  • Use of visuals- Do they help or hinder the presentation?
  • Paralinguistic features

'Paralinguistics' refers to non-verbal communication. This is important in a presentation because eye contact, directing your voice to all parts of the room, using pitch and tone to keep attention and so on are all part of engaging an audience.

I find it's a good idea to let students in on the assessment process by setting them a peer observation task. The simplest way to do this is to write a checklist that relates to the aims of the lesson. A task for presentations on major historical events might have a checklist like this:

  • Does the presenter greet the audience? YES/NO
  • Does the presenter use the past tense? YES/NO

And so on. This normally helps me to keep all members of the audience awake. To be really sure, though, I include a question that involves personal response to the presentation such as 'What did you like about this presentation and why?'. If working with young learners, it's a good idea to tell them you will look at their answers to the observation task. Otherwise they might simply tick random answers!

Conclusion Presentations are a great way to practise a wide range of skills and to build the general confidence of your students. Due to problems with timing, I would recommend one lesson per term, building confidence bit by bit throughout the year. In a school curriculum this leaves time to get through the core syllabus and prepare for exams.

Presenting in a Reading Group

Tips for giving a reading group talk

presentation in reading

If you’re involved in research, you’re probably going to give a reading group presentation at some point. Many professors push their PhD students to give talks. Giving these talks helps researchers build the ability to read and understand papers quickly, and the ability to communicate findings effectively.

Volunteer or be volunTOLD. — Prof. David Fouhey

Dr. Fouhey told this joke multiple times during the computer vision reading group last semester and the other professors agreed. It succinctly summarizes the emphasis placed on giving these talks.

What’s a reading group?

Reading groups regularly meet to discuss topics in research. Most of the time, the group will focus on one specific paper detailing an important finding. In AI, many of these reading groups may be focused on award-winning papers from recent conferences or on methods relevant to the participants’ research.

Reading groups exist mainly to enrich the participants’ knowledge. Sometimes the talks will focus on a broader topic as an introduction and sometimes the talks will focus on a specific method in a specific paper. The more niche the audience of the reading group, the more advanced the topic tends to be. At MSAIL, we try to strike a balance between our younger, less-experienced audience (i.e. underclassmen) and our older, experienced audience (upperclassmen, graduate students, etc.).

Choosing a topic

Choosing a topic may be the hardest part of the presentation process. Generally, you can present any topic you want, given that it hasn’t already been presented recently. Present on something that grabs your interest immediately, or something you have some familiarity with - it’ll make the preparation process more bearable. If you’re open to topics and are confident you can adapt, then just go to a conference or journal page and search through some of the accepted papers that catch your eye (at the time of writing, I’ve been looking at ICLR 2021 papers).

In my opinion, the main question you should ask yourself when you’ve identified a potential topic is:

Am I willing to read about this topic in depth, even to the extent of falling into a rabbit hole?

You obviously don’t need to know everything about the topic you choose (no one does), but persistence is the key to having a strong presentation. The more comfy you are with the overall subject area, the more natural your presentation will flow and the less likely you are to trip up. (For MSAIL, however, if you’re a newcomer and haven’t really done a reading group presentation before, we’ll help you out!)

Here are some questions you should ask yourself when looking at a paper or topic that you’re about to choose:

  • If it’s not clearly important or you don’t gain anything from knowledge of the topic itself, you’ll just be wasting time.
  • Important for getting people to attend your talk, and also helpful in gauging whether your audience will stay engaged. If they aren’t engaged in the beginning how can they be expected to in the end?
  • A “reasonable amount of time” is generally a week or so.
  • You need to choose papers of reasonable length. We often suggest presenting on conference papers because they’re less than 10 pages on average. Longer papers and topics are more feasible down the line when you’ve become comfortable with these types of presentations.

For the examples in this post, I will go through the process of choosing a topic for one of my previous talks. I’ve given plenty of talks on uninteresting topics and papers, but some were received particularly well. I will talk about my process for presenting VideoBERT , which I presented way back in Fall 2019. This was actually my first ever MSAIL talk, and at the time I had only recently become acquainted with AI research. The talk had plenty of faults, which I’ll try to use as examples.

VideoBERT Flow Diagram

Reading relevant sources

For a specific paper.

Even if you choose one paper, that paper is probably not the only source you’re looking at to understand all the content. When you first read through the paper itself, you should annotate the key points (this is just a common reading skill, but it’s easy to forget!) and note the portions that confuse you. Depending on your background, you may or may not be able to finish the first pass. You should aim to have a big picture understanding of the paper, so maybe about 30%. If you can’t reach that level on your first read - don’t fret. You need to go read some supplementary materials. In particular, any decent paper will reference prior/related work in a section near the introduction - this is where you can dive into their citations and read up on the things that confuse you. Alternatively, I’ve found that Medium posts are particularly helpful as well for understanding more basic content.

Related Work

Note the underlined portions here from the Related Work section of the VideoBERT paper. These highlight topics that might be worth searching up. You don’t need to dive into everything, but having a general understanding of what cross-modal learning and BERT are would help to better understand this paper.

If after all that, you still can’t understand 30% of the material in the paper, then I’m afraid you probably need to read further on basic material and possibly postpone your talk. I don’t expect this to happen because the pool of people who choose to present is self-selecting (as in, you’re more likely to want to present in a reading group if you already have basic background), but just in case, don’t be afraid to start at the beginning. I too have had to withdraw after signing up for a reading group before because I just did not understand what I was reading at all.

After the first pass, you have an idea of what the paper’s central ideas are. You can then start outlining what you want to talk about. Any subsequent passes will simply be to reinforce your understanding of the paper.

For a broader topic

For a broader topic, you should still choose to focus on a few papers in order to narrow the scope of your presentation. If you choose this, you likely have an idea in mind for how you wish to synthesize the ideas in the papers. Knowing this, you should focus your reading based on which points you hope to elucidate most. The process will very much feel like the process in the above section, except you’ll spend less time focusing on the intricate details of any one paper and you’ll focus more on the key ideas that you can use to build toward whatever main idea you’re focusing on.

In general, giving these types of talks is difficult. Even professors struggle to present so much content in a clear way. If you intend to give a talk like this, make sure to spend extra time in advance to really nail a cohesive argument. Otherwise, just stick to one paper since usually the time you have is only enough for one.

An example of a decent talk that synthesizes ideas in multiple papers is Justin Johnson’s lecture on Object Segmentation . This is obviously not a reading group talk and is an entire course lecture - but the principles are relatively similar since the topics presented here are from recent papers. Another good example is the talk Dr. Chai gave us in Fall 2020 .

Some of our own, more tame talks presenting multiple papers include John Day’s Brain-Inspired AI talk , Yash Gambhir’s Text Summarization talk , and my talk on using reinforcement learning for optimization in COVID-19 problems . If you watch them you’ll notice some of the difficulties we had with balancing our content and finishing in time.

Creating slides

Most of the time you’ll be preparing slides to assist you in your talk. Organizing your slides properly is the key to getting a good presentation going.

Something that helps me is using a general slide outline and then identifying where in the paper I can get the information for a specific section. Then I fill in the sections and occasionally add subsections based on the subtitles in the paper.

In general, you want to introduce the following points in any regular paper presentation. You can change the order to suit your preferred flow, but the one presented here works well normally. Note that you can use any number of slides for each section:

  • Why did the authors explore this topic? Who and how does it help solve a big problem?
  • What are the authors proposing or introducing?
  • Make this clear at the beginning. Then your audience will know what to expect.
  • What does your audience need to know (at a high level) before you dive into the details of the topic?
  • This is not always necessary, but if you’re presenting something technically challenging you may want to briefly introduce this.
  • This is the novel part of the paper. What did the authors do and how did they do it?
  • How did they validate their methods and what did they compare it to? What are the deliverables?
  • Restate the major contributions. Also, talk about the implications for the future.

General Principles

You’ve probably presented to someone before. In that case, you should be well aware of standard principles, but I’ll write some in case you aren’t:

  • This is a technical talk. Please don’t make your readers lose you.
  • Personally, I tend to put around 2 lines of text on a slide and then explain the rest verbally. Putting less text and explaining it instead helps me better understand the content too!
  • I don’t need to tell you that a picture is worth a thousand words, but they’ll help a ton. You can usually just steal these from the paper and its supplementary materials. If they don’t have any and you feel that one would be appropriate, don’t be afraid to create one!
  • Sometimes the talk is devoted to an equation or the theory you’re discussing is heavily reliant on equations (I can’t imagine some reinforcement learning papers without Bellman’s equation.). But if the paper has a lot of equations, try only to include the most important ones.

Take a look at my VideoBERT slides and note that I absolutely did not follow these principles and the above listed structure during that talk. I consider my VideoBERT talk to be of poor quality. Don’t worry about the technical content. (Note that this link is Michigan only)

Here are a few sample slides depicting how I would’ve roughly modified my VideoBERT talk to be easier to follow and listen to. I only wrote up to the methods section, because I just wanted to depict some of the principles in action. Again, don’t worry about the technical content. (This link is open to everyone)

Also, feel free to take a look at this slidedeck for general tips .

Presenting your slides

Presentation is very important for a technical talk. I’m pretty sure most presenters don’t want to bore their audience. During one reading group a while ago, I delivered a one hour talk that included even professors in the audience. After that talk I didn’t receive a single question. I can only speculate whether they got lost, whether we were out of time, or whether I just completely bored them. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen to you.

Here are some steps you can take to reduce the chance of losing your audience:

  • Reiterating the importance of preparing your slides properly. Prepare them as if you were presenting them, and then practice presenting them at least once before your talk.
  • This is a given - you should be speaking and never reading.
  • Don’t go on diversions. Save them till the end.
  • Leave room for questions during your presentation. I doubt most people will remember their questions by the end. A good rule might be to ask for questions every 5 minutes.
  • Similarly, you should be gauging understanding as you go along. If the audience can attest to understand what you’re saying, you’re fine.
  • Speak slowly. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have my entire audience understand 80% of my presentation and not finish within time than finishing and not having anyone understand anything. I sometimes break this rule without realizing.

There are probably many more principles to follow, but in reading groups these are the ones I’ve found to be the most blatant errors that I wish I corrected.

Can I forgo preparing slides?

If you don’t want to prepare slides, you can either:

  • Walk through the paper itself
  • Prepare questions and facilitate a discussion rather than giving a talk

I wouldn’t advise a newcomer (or anyone, for that matter) to choose the first option. The point of preparing slides is to make material more presentable and to help you, the presenter, understand the paper better. I’ve only experienced people presenting straight from the paper when they knew what they were talking about but had last minute obligations come up. For reference, the last two times I saw this done were from a student who wrote the paper he was presenting on, and from a senior research scientist at Google Brain. It is generally okay, however, to supplement your slides during your talk by briefly visiting the paper to discuss something like a figure or a table, or to answer questions.

The second option is far more feasible, and at MSAIL we actually recommend this format. Discussion questions help the audience engage with the material more. However, good discussions usually occur around people with background, so be wary of your audience. You’ll usually be presenting something in addition to the questions - for example, last Winter we had a discussion about using vision to analyze CT scans for the purpose of detecting COVID-19. All we did was play a video prepared by another organization and then discussed it in detail. This is perfectly fine, given that you have an interesting topic.

Going forward

Yeah, preparing to present at a reading group is a lot of work the first time around. After a while, you’ll be comfortable enough with both approaching novel technical content and with your presentation skills, so you’ll be able to take shortcuts and structure things as you wish. You’ll also just become faster. In the long term, this skill will certainly help you as a researcher.

Gone are the days when the MSAIL Admin team was scrambling to prepare entire talks within 5 hours on the day of (we were quite notorious for this during the ‘19-‘20 school year). This happened because we had very few speakers, but we’re much better off now. I hope you never prepare a talk within such a constraint because I can guarantee that the talk will fail miserably. The further along you go as a researcher, the later you’ll be able to start preparing reading group presentations, but you’ll still wish you started earlier.

If you’re ready to try your hand at a talk, sign up with your reading group(s). For University of Michigan students, here are some reading groups you might be interested in:

How to Give a Killer Presentation

  • Chris Anderson

presentation in reading

For more than 30 years, the TED conference series has presented enlightening talks that people enjoy watching. In this article, Anderson, TED’s curator, shares five keys to great presentations:

  • Frame your story (figure out where to start and where to end).
  • Plan your delivery (decide whether to memorize your speech word for word or develop bullet points and then rehearse it—over and over).
  • Work on stage presence (but remember that your story matters more than how you stand or whether you’re visibly nervous).
  • Plan the multimedia (whatever you do, don’t read from PowerPoint slides).
  • Put it together (play to your strengths and be authentic).

According to Anderson, presentations rise or fall on the quality of the idea, the narrative, and the passion of the speaker. It’s about substance—not style. In fact, it’s fairly easy to “coach out” the problems in a talk, but there’s no way to “coach in” the basic story—the presenter has to have the raw material. So if your thinking is not there yet, he advises, decline that invitation to speak. Instead, keep working until you have an idea that’s worth sharing.

Lessons from TED

A little more than a year ago, on a trip to Nairobi, Kenya, some colleagues and I met a 12-year-old Masai boy named Richard Turere, who told us a fascinating story. His family raises livestock on the edge of a vast national park, and one of the biggest challenges is protecting the animals from lions—especially at night. Richard had noticed that placing lamps in a field didn’t deter lion attacks, but when he walked the field with a torch, the lions stayed away. From a young age, he’d been interested in electronics, teaching himself by, for example, taking apart his parents’ radio. He used that experience to devise a system of lights that would turn on and off in sequence—using solar panels, a car battery, and a motorcycle indicator box—and thereby create a sense of movement that he hoped would scare off the lions. He installed the lights, and the lions stopped attacking. Soon villages elsewhere in Kenya began installing Richard’s “lion lights.”

How to Use PowerPoint Speak to Read Text Aloud

Microsoft PowerPoint has a built-in text-to-speech feature called Speak, which lets you read text out loud. Here's how to use it.

With PowerPoint presentations, it's usually you, or an audio or video clip, doing all the talking. But what if you want to give your voice a much-needed break without interrupting the presentation?

Microsoft PowerPoint has a built-in but hidden Speak feature that allows it to read out the text of your presentation slides, similar to the Read Aloud feature in its cousins—Word and Outlook.

In this article, you'll learn how to set up and use the Speak feature in Microsoft PowerPoint to read out your slides and power up your presentations, plus how to manage it.

How to Enable Speak in Microsoft PowerPoint

The Speak feature has been available in PowerPoint since PowerPoint 2010, but not many are aware of this because it's neither on the Ribbon area nor on the Quick Access Toolbar by default.

With a little tweaking, however, you can enable Speak on the Ribbon and QAT, and get PowerPoint talking just like your Google Assistant . Here's how:

  • Open the PowerPoint desktop application.
  • Drag the scroll bar, scroll all the way down and click on Speak . The commands are arranged alphabetically, so you can jump to “S.”
  • Speak will be enabled for all documents in PowerPoint by default.
  • Return to your Quick Access Toolbar , and you should see the Speak button, but it may be inactive.

How to Use Speak to Read Microsoft PowerPoint Documents Aloud

Once Speak is added to your Quick Access Toolbar or Ribbon, you can start listening to your PowerPoint presentations. Here's how:

  • Launch the PowerPoint desktop application and open any existing document.
  • Click on Speak and it will start speaking or reading out the selected text.

You'll notice that unlike the Read Aloud feature, Speak functions basically as a play/stop button on the Quick Access Toolbar. It can also be playing in the background while you do other tasks.

How to Manage Speak in Microsoft PowerPoint

If you want to manage how Speak works, you'll have to go through the Windows menu. Here's how:

  • Press the Windows key on your PC and click on Control Panel .
  • Click on the Voice selection dropdown to select a different voice. Your options will depend on your version of Windows.
  • Voice Speed is set to Normal by default. You can adjust this by dragging the slider left or right between “Slow” and “Fast.”
  • Click OK when done.

Power Up Your PowerPoint Presentations With Speak

Whether you're feeling tired and exhausted or you have a speech impairment, you can power up your PowerPoint presentations with Speak and let it do the talking on your behalf. It's also available in Word, Outlook, and OneNote.

Speak is clearly not as robust or as accessible as Read Aloud, perhaps due to the fact that PowerPoint already has several other built-in audio/visual tools. However, it is good enough to do the basic tasks of helping you make an audio presentation or read another's presentation aloud.

  • Alex Smith former contractor for USAID who was forced to resign over the Biden administration’s support for the war on Gaza.

In a broadcast exclusive, Democracy Now! speaks with Alex Smith, a former contractor with the U.S. Agency for International Development who resigned in protest over the Biden’s administration’s support for the war on Gaza. Smith worked as a senior adviser on gender, maternal health, child health and nutrition at USAID until last week, when he was set to deliver a presentation on maternal and child mortality among Palestinians. One day before he was scheduled to present, the USAID leadership canceled his presentation. Smith says he was then given a choice between resignation and dismissal. “I would like them to stop gaslighting and speak truthfully about what is happening,” says Smith, who says USAID must do more than acknowledge famine is happening in Gaza. “We need to take the next step of saying it is illegal and who is doing the starvation intentionally.” Smith condemns the Biden administration for silencing U.S. experts while supporting Israel, which claims there is no famine in Gaza. “It’s shameful that that misinformation can go around the world to millions, while we at USAID can’t even whisper about it in a conference on gender and human rights and health outcomes.”

AMY GOODMAN : This is Democracy Now! , democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report . I’m Amy Goodman.

Our next guest was a contractor for the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID . He resigned in protest over the Biden’s administration’s support for the war on Gaza. For the past four years, Alex Smith worked as a senior adviser on gender, maternal health, child health and nutrition at USAID . Last week, he was scheduled to deliver a presentation on maternal and child mortality among Palestinians to a conference of USAID’s colleagues and partners. But a day before he was scheduled to present, the leadership at USAID canceled his presentation. Smith says he was then given a choice between resignation and dismissal. He chose to resign.

In his letter of resignation addressed to the head of USAID , Samantha Power, he wrote, quote, “I cannot do my job in an environment in which specific people cannot be acknowledged as fully human, or where gender and human rights principles apply to some, but not to others, depending on their race. I can no longer in good conscience continue to be silent amidst USAID’s de facto policy of ignoring human suffering when that suffering is perpetrated by an ally,” Smith wrote.

Alex Smith joins us now from Portland, Maine, in his first broadcast interview.

Alex, welcome to Democracy Now! Explain what happened, how your presentation was canceled. It was a competition for having this place, this address, where Samantha Power also addressed the conference. Can you talk about what happened?

ALEX SMITH : Good morning.

Yes, absolutely. I would like to talk about what happened, but I also do want to keep the focus on the people of Gaza and the West Bank, and not make the headline about a privileged white guy who resigned his job. But, yes, I’m happy to talk about what happened.

Back in February, I submitted an abstract to the conference. It’s a global gender equality conference that was going to be held in May. And that abstract was one of 368 that were submitted. One of the themes of the conference was going to be on intersectionality and maternal health. And I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to talk about Gaza, as we know there are severe limitations for women to reach health facilities. Where previously Gaza used to have very good attendance of skilled birth attendants, now almost all of the hospitals are nonfunctioning. And so, I submitted my abstract.

To my surprise, it was accepted, in March. It went through three tiers of review. There were about 35 reviewers involved, and it was outsourced to an outside organization to review, as well. So, it was accepted, and I was very excited, and I was thrilled to have a chance, a platform to talk about maternal and child health outcomes in an ongoing crisis.

The day before — the Monday before the Wednesday that I was going to present, I was told that I needed to meet with the Middle East bureau colleagues and submit my slides. I did that. The slides went through many layers of editing and comments. I received a language guide. I was told to remove words like “Palestine,” “Palestinians,” “Israel-Gaza border” and several others. And then there was a column of preferred language. I went along with that. I removed the word “Palestine” from the organization name ” UNFPA Palestine,” because that was objected to. I removed a map that UNOCHA provided, that was acknowledged as an accurate map, but that couldn’t be included because it showed the borders and the sea borders of Gaza.

Also on that Monday, I was told this is a very sensitive issue, because an hour before we were having our chat, the ICC request for an indictment came down from the prosecutor. And so I was told that it’s a sensitive issue because of that. I mentioned that I was a legal fellow at the ICC back when I was in law school, that I had worked on specifically starvation as a weapon of war, and that was an area of interest of mine, and that I thought it would be useful to talk about international humanitarian law frameworks as they apply to every country, Gaza included. And I think that set off alarm bells. There were many more layers of editing. And then, on Tuesday, I was told that the presentation was canceled. Before I was told, the presentation was deleted from the conference website.

AMY GOODMAN : I wanted to ask you about another part of your letter. You write, ” USAID defends human rights, norms and international law when Ukrainians suffer from Russia’s crimes. In Ukraine, we call for legal redress when people are victimized, and name perpetrators of violence. We even work with human rights organizations collecting evidence for international prosecution. … When it comes to Palestinians, however, we avoid saying anything about their right to statehood, the abuses they’re currently suffering, or which powers have been violating their basic rights to freedom, self-determination, livelihoods, and clean water.” What was their response to this?

ALEX SMITH : There has been no response to my letter specifically, but that brings up a very important point, that we are very vocal. We don’t just deliberate. We’re vocal about human rights, democracy issues when it’s other countries or where adversaries are harming people, but we don’t talk about it when it’s people in Gaza and the West Bank.

AMY GOODMAN : So, I wanted to talk about the head of USAID , Samantha Power. In fact, I believe she was one of the people President Biden sent to Michigan to deal with the “uncommitted” vote and to talk to Arab Americans. She, as head of USAID , was the first top Biden administration official to publicly acknowledge that famine is present in northern Gaza. I wanted to go to a clip. She was questioned by House Democrat Joaquin Castro during a congressional hearing. Congressmember Castro said, “So, there’s famine already occurring there?” Samantha Power said, “Yes.” Castro then asked Power: How many children were at risk of dying in the coming weeks due to famine? She said, “In northern Gaza, the rate of malnutrition prior to October 7th was almost zero. It’s now one in three.” One in three kids. So, was she aware of the demand that was made of you to change all the language?

ALEX SMITH : I don’t know. I don’t know who in leadership was told about the presentation. I know that there was a lot of chatter that I wasn’t privy to about my presentation in the days leading up to it. But I don’t know if she has seen the presentation slides or my resignation letter.

AMY GOODMAN : So, Alex Smith, you have your moment here. Your presentation was canceled. You’re an expert in infant and maternal mortality. You were talking about the Palestinians in the speech you weren’t able to give. Tell us what is the situation.

ALEX SMITH : So, my presentation would have looked at snapshots of public health data, DHS data, that USAID funds, leading up to 2022. It would have talked about some of the challenges of not having clean water, of not having food security in most of Gaza, and also the checkpoints in the West Bank, that there have been risky roadside births, before 2023. And then, of course, it would have talked about the impact of not having access to hospitals, of not having access to any maternity care, of having UNFPA provide home birth kids to try to prevent infection.

But I really wanted to talk — I wanted to get the point across that if you stop food from going in and then you do start it again, it’s not like flipping a switch where everything is fine. The starving pregnant women and children is going to have long consequences. It’s going to have lifelong consequences for those people, can even have epigenetic consequences for future generations.

And I think it was important to understand that starvation as a weapon of war is illegal. And we need to acknowledge — and Samantha Power has acknowledged that — that there is a famine, but we need to take that next step of saying it is illegal, and who is doing the starvation intentionally.

AMY GOODMAN : I want to end by turning to Samantha Power, the head of USAID , the author of A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide . This was an award-winning book that she wrote. In 2008, Democracy Now! spoke with Samantha Power about the ’94 Rwanda genocide, a period of around a hundred days in which up to a million Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu militias, while powerful countries, like the U.S., stood by and refused to stop the mass killings.

SAMANTHA POWER : President Clinton didn’t even call a Cabinet meeting for the entire hundred days of the genocide, insisted on the withdrawal of peacekeepers, refused to pay for radio jamming, which would have blocked the radio that was being used not only to propagate the hate but also to broadcast the names and addresses of potential victims who were getting away. I mean, it was an all-systems failure. But President Clinton was at the helm of that failure, and I think it’s an American outrage, and I think President Clinton himself has made that plain, that it’s the greatest regret of his presidency.

AMY GOODMAN : “The greatest regret of his presidency.” Samantha Power would go on to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Alex Smith, can you share your final thoughts, as we go from President Clinton to President Obama to now President Biden?

ALEX SMITH : Surely. On the same day that I was supposed to give my talk on maternal and child health outcomes in Gaza, the Israeli minister of strategic affairs, Dermer, went on Sky News and told millions of people that there is no famine, there never has been a famine in Gaza. And I think it’s shameful that that misinformation can go around the world to millions, while we at USAID can’t even whisper about it in a conference on gender and human rights and health outcomes.

So, I would like our leaders to do better. I would like them to stop gaslighting and say and speak truthfully about what is happening. We haven’t seen that yet, and I think it’s long overdue.

AMY GOODMAN : Alex Smith, we want to thank you for being with us, just resigned as contractor for U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID , in this exclusive interview. We’ll also link to your letter that you wrote to USAID .

Funded by a grant from the Boyertown Area Charitable Program administered by Berks County Community Foundation, Studio B Art Gallery, Boyertown, is gearing up for its annual project celebrating visual and literary art that also includes a variety of efforts to engage community members in the theme of the year. A number of efforts are planned as part of the project.

"The theme 'I AM: Proud' addresses a serious challenge of our time — in which confronting great cynicism and anxiety, uncertainty and disappointment requires us all to find ways to preserve, protect and further the courage, honesty and integrity that bring us enduring pride," explained Jane Stahl, Studio B's director of community relations. "While we are often shy about sharing what we have accomplished for fear of being seen as bragging or of making others feel 'less than' somehow, at the same time, we are encouraged not to 'hide our light.' Our joy and example are often exactly what others need to motivate them or provide 'permission' to feel good about themselves."

The gallery will host an Opening Reception on June 28 from 5 to 7 p.m. featuring dozens of local artists in a variety of mediums showcasing work in response to the "I AM: Proud" theme. Boyertown High School senior Sarah Campbell will show a video she created featuring students expressing pride in their activities and accomplishments. In addition, for the 11th season, Studio B will publish the poetry and prose submitted by writers in The Boyertown Area Expression.

In preparation for the June events, the studio is inviting members of the community to submit articles and photographs to showcase their "pride and joy" — what matters to them. Photographs should be sent to [email protected] . (Include "I AM: Proud" in the subject line.) Articles should be sent to [email protected] . Photo submissions will run on a loop, televised inside the gallery through Aug. 27. Articles will be published on The Boyertown Area Expression throughout the summer and will be posted online at https://boyertownareaexpression.town.news .

The Boyertown Community Library will host a self-discovery/community-building artistic activity for all ages entitled "Flowers in Bloom with Studio B" beginning June 29. Participants will create flower petals representing themselves using magazines, markers, construction paper and more to show their "pride and joy." Registration is required: bit.ly/m/BCLSummerQuest24. The library project will be ongoing during the summer and the participants' creations will be on exhibit at the library.

On June 30 from 1 to 3 p.m., the gallery will host an in-person Writers' Reception and Reading in which writers who submitted articles published in The Boyertown Area Expression will be invited to read their work and share their inspirations.

All events are free and open to the public. Visit www.studiobbb.org for further details.

“We know that among [ Grey’s ] viewers, they are not just sizable but very loyal audience, but the majority, well over 80%, watches the show on multiple platforms, not specifically live, so we think the move is going to be minimal, as well as it will provide an incredible lead into our local news at 11,” Erwich said. “And in terms of 9-1-1 , it felt like the perfect lead-in for what I think is a really high-octane and fun, unique spin on a medical drama in Doctor Odyssey.

He called the scheduling change “a great opportunity for ABC to launch a new show, as well as to keep Grey’s on a night where it’s been extraordinarily successful for many years.”

The other new scripted series on ABC’s fall schedule, Drew Goddard’s crime procedural High Potential , is getting one of ABC’s most proven launch pads in the form of a Dancing With the Stars lead-in on Tuesdays.

ABC’s breakout hit The Golden Bachelor was one hour, half of the length of typical Bachelor/Bachelorette episodes. Its spinoff, The Golden Bachelorette , will split that in the middle at 90 minutes on a new night, Wednesday.

“ Golden Bachelor was probably the television event last year,” Erwich said. “The first Golden Bachelorette has an incredible story, and although we were thrilled with the results, last year we felt that there were still story elements, characters and aspects of the show that 90 minutes can really capture the full essence of, as well as it being a great lead-in to Abbott Elementary , which continues to be a huge priority for us.”

For the first time in awhile, a comedy won’t open Wednesday night for ABC, with Abbott Elementary as the only representative of the genre on the fall schedule. This does not signal a retreat, Erwich said.

“We are very invested in the comedy genre. I haven’t seen a show break through the culture like Abbott Elementary in a long time,” he said. “We’re very bullish on getting more comedies.”

Erwich noted that the network is in production on two multi-camera comedy pilots, Shifting Gears with Tim Allen and Forgive & Forget with Ty Burrell in addition to bringing back The Conners for its six-episode final season.

“There was some impact in terms of pilot development caused by the strikes, but come midseason, you’ll see how dedicated we are to bringing the best of family comedy to the ABC audience,” he said.

The Rookie ‘s benching is not a sign that the veteran cop drama starring Nathan Fillion may be on its last legs or that Will Trent is in danger.

“The opposite,” Erwich said. “We held the return of these shows till midseason so they can have truly an uninterrupted run for that season, which I think is a very powerful weapon in terms of watching our shows. And with New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and all of our events that we have in December, January is one of the best times to launch new shows.

“So this idea of bringing back Will Trent and The Rookie and basically going without repeats, we felt was the best way to continue the strength of both of those shows,” Erwich added. “They both perform extraordinarily well, and I anticipate they’ll be on the schedule for a long time.”

The Summer Game Fest logo floats over a gradient background in key art for SGF 2024.

Summer Game Fest 2024 returns to take up the mantle of E3, now that the annual expo is gone for good after a run of almost two decades.

The good news, however, is gaming’s biggest conference season isn’t going anywhere. Though the Summer Game Fest showcase is headlining, the likes of Xbox, Ubisoft, and Devolver are all returning to offer a week-long burst of news and announcements.

In this guide, we’ll run down the Summer Game Fest 2024 conference schedule , with dates and times across time zones in North America and Europe, and what to expect from each one.

Summer Game Fest 2024 schedule and all conference times

Here is when every conference will go live over the “E3” conference period. The bulk of the shows will take place around the second weekend of June, headlined by Summer Game Fest on Friday, June 7, and continuing until Monday with the likes of Ubisoft.

By the time Summer Game Fest starts, Sony’s annual summer State of Play will have happened (on Thursday, May 30). We are still waiting for Nintendo to set a date for its June direct ( as confirmed on a post on X ). Based on previous years, they should fall within the same week as the below – unless it wants to take the spotlight later in the month.

Summer Game Fest 2024 schedule

Thursday, june 6 conferences.

Details about the Guerrilla Collective 2024 showcase at Summer Game Fest hover over a black background.

Though Friday is technically the start of Summer Game Fest, props to Guerrilla Collective (10 a.m. PDT / 1 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ) for stealing a march on Geoff Keighley with an indie-focused showcase that’s now in its fifth year. Expect “big new game announcements, reveals, trailer premieres, fresh gameplay,” with the likes of Slime Heroes from Whitehorn Games, Neon Blood from ChaoticBrain Studios, and Deathbound from Trialforge Studio confirmed to be showing up.

Friday, June 7 conferences

The Summer Game Fest 2024 logo floats over an orange background.

Friday is technically the start of Summer Game Fest, with the Access-Ability Summer Showcase (8 a.m. PDT / 11 a.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ) beginning proceedings to highlight games by game developers with disabilities, and games with features and settings designed with players with disabilities in mind.

Whitethorn Games (publisher of Botany Manor ), Playtonic ( Yooka-Laylee creator and publisher of upcoming rogue-like Elsie ), and Fiction Factory Games ( Arcade Spirits ) are all confirmed to be in the mix so far, with showrunner Laura Kate Dale explaining that “our aim is to make sure that if a game looks exciting, you don’t have to worry about getting hyped, only to learn later that a game doesn’t support your needs as a player.”

Following that a few hours later is the big one: the Summer Game Fest showcase (2 p.m. PDT / 5 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ). There are 55 partners signed up; how many of these will actually appear in the conference is uncertain, but since previous iterations of this event have run for at least a couple of hours, expect a fair few to show up. While specific reveals are under wraps at the time of this writing, we know 2K will at least “reveal the next iteration” in one of its franchises during the show. Any guesses?

As tradition, the Summer Game Fest stream will immediately run into Double Fine and 8bit’s Day of the Devs (exact time TBC, streaming through the same feed as Summer Game Fest). Karma: The Dark World , Phoenix Spring , and Derek Yu’s UFO 50 will make an appearance, among various new reveals.

Finally, Friday ends with Devolver Direct (5 p.m. PDT / 8 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ). Once famously hosted in a parking lot across the street from E3 (to physically emphasize the contrast between events), the oddball developer eschewed that stunt last year — and there’s no word yet on if it’ll revive this year. With E3 dead, though, it’s unlikely. Anyway, expect lots of offbeat indies at this showcase.

Saturday, June 8 conferences

The Future of Play Direct logo hovers over an orange background in key art for Summer Game Fest 2024.

The Saturday of not-E3 2024 is packed with back-to-back shows. Let’s break it down:

  • First up is the Future of Play Direct (8 a.m. PDT / 11 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube ). Hosted by the V-tuber A.I. broadcaster Melios, no games have been announced yet. But if you miss the showcase, Glitch, the organizer of the event, said a setlist will be available via its social media channels after the event wraps.
  • That’s immediately followed by Wholesome Direct (9 a.m. PDT / 12 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ), a showcase focused on cozy games. For an example of what to expect, in previous years, Wholesome Direct has featured the likes of Moonglow Bay , Bear and Breakfast , and Pupperazzi .
  • The Latin America Games Showcase (10 a.m. PDT / 1 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ) comes right on the heels of Wholesome Direct, and puts a spotlight on games developed in Latin America. More than 45 games are planned to appear at the event; you can see the whole list here .
  • Shortly after that comes Women-led Games Summer Games Fest (11:30 a.m. PDT / 2.30 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ). With a focus on games developed studios that are either led by or are majority staffed by women, Women-Led Games hosts a number of showcases per year. You can see the one from March 2024 here .
  • Finally, the day wraps with the Future Games Show (12 p.m. PDT / 3 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ). Unaffiliated with the earlier Future of Play event, the Future Games Show is GamesRadar’s annual not-E3 event. This year, it’s hosted by Red Dead Redemption 2 ’s Arthur Clark and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth ’s Britt Baron.

Sunday, June 9 conferences

A graphic shows details about the 2024 Xbox showcase at Summer Game Fest.

Headlining Sunday is the Xbox Games Showcase (9 a.m. PDT / 12 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ). This is Microsoft’s first showcase since its nearly $70 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard was finalized. Since then, Microsoft has closed studios and laid off nearly 2,000 employees across its gaming department. This, of course, is the giant elephant in the room. While the matter likely won’t be addressed during the show, it will no doubt overshadow rumored announcements of things like a new entry in the Doom series or a potential reveal of an all-digital Xbox Series X .

Following the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft will host the Black Ops 6 Direct (exact time TBC, streaming through the same feed as Xbox). Immediately after its 2023 showcase, Microsoft held a 45-minute, in-depth stream for Bethesda’s Starfield ; it’s safe to assume the Black Ops 6 Direct will be along the same lines. As with all of Microsoft’s first-party games to date, Black Ops 6 will launch “day one” on Game Pass .

The Xbox-centric series of events is followed by the PC Gaming Show (1 p.m. PDT / 4 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ). Hosted by PC Gamer , the show will feature 50 games plus interviews with developers, though the publication hasn’t yet announced who will be partaking.

Monday, June 10 conferences

Details about Ubisoft Forward at Summer Game Fest 2024 float in front of a palm tree on a sunny day.

As of this writing, not-E3 wraps up with Ubisoft Forward (pre-show at 11:30 a.m. PDT / 2:30 p.m. EDT, with main show at 12 p.m. PDT / 3 p.m. EDT, streaming on YouTube / Twitch ). The purveyor of icon-saturated map games already has a heavy slate in the fall, with the likes of Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows .

Both tent poles will be part of the show, Ubisoft said in a press release. Also expect details about XDefiant , Ubisoft’s recently launched multiplayer shooter, and “more” games. Less likely? An update on Beyond Good & Evil 2 , which has been infamously (and very publicly) mired in development hell for years. But hey, anything can happen!
