The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Presenting an Oral Talk:
Overview In this experience, students define and apply public speaking and listening skills. Then they create a short two-minute talk in which they present an “I Believe” position. While listening to their classmates speak, students take notes and work with the rest of their group to generate questions, comments, and suggestions for the speaker. In scene 3 students refer back to the personal narratives they wrote in the experience “Writing a Personal Narrative.” If students did not write a personal narrative, help them choose a turning point in their lives that they can turn into an “I Believe” statement. Students will collaborate in small groups in scene 5. It is recommended that there be no more than 4 students per group. At the end of the experience, students will self-evaluate their work based on a rubric. You may review the rubric with them at any point during this experience. Objectives Duration Two class periods. For homework, students should practice their talk between days one and two.
In this experience, you will develop the idea of what it means to be a good speaker. You will develop a short talk stating your beliefs on a topic. Then you will present the talk to a small group of classmates and practice both your speaking and listening skills.
Objectives
