For each of these you don't need too much more than what's been given to you by the board but it's not easy to understand without explanation or examples so you'll need to research other student presentations, Mrs Fisher's theory videos on youtube,https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUKrxp4BcJrGLzmqAhCjASg
