Activity 1
As an introduction speak about involvement – at home and at school.
Stress that preparation for oral work always enhances presentation.
Learners have been considering career choices and, therefore, have a fairly good idea of what they are going to talk about.
Now, they have to link these ideas to clubs and activities which they could use to their advantage.
It is important to go through the oral rubric thoroughly, reminding learners about all aspects of presentation.
Now explain how notes and aids are best used.
Exaggerate the nuisance of a sheet of paper, stress the problem of posture and eye-contact, and the lack of confidence when a speech is written out and used in the presentation.
Suggest ways of improving audibility and gestures.
