Title:  My Hero

You have been given a project to prepare and present a short 5 minute talk about a ‘hero’ of your choice. This person could be famous (footballer, singer etc.) or someone you know in real life. The presentation should be as detailed as possible and could include information about

• Why this person is your hero
• What about them inspires you
• Who they are and where they come from (background etc.)
• What have they achieved (successes or special talents)
• How did they reach their goals
• What impact has your hero had on you

You can use the internet or books to find out facts about your chosen ‘hero’. You could also use other ideas to enhance your talk e.g. PowerPoint (saved pen-drive), drawings, diagrams or items from home.

You should practise your talk at home as often as possible and use a timer to help. You may want to use notes or prompt cards to help you stay on track.

Talks should be ready to be present the week beginning Monday 22^th May.

I can’t wait to hear your talks!

Another busy week in P5/6!
