BIG Talk Homework

P5/6 Big Talk Homework

Title: My Dream Trip 

You have been given a project to prepare and present a short 5-minute talk about where you would go on your dream trip.  The presentation should be as detailed as possible.  Some ideas might include:

Before going on your trip:

  • How will you travel to your destination?
  • Who will you take with you?
  • Where will you stay? Will you need to bring any equipment with you? E.g. If you are camping?
  • What kind of spending money will you need to take?
  • What will you need to pack in your suitcase?
  • What is the national anthem for the country?
  • Provide a picture of the national flag.

When you arrive at your destination:

  • What particular places will you visit?
  • What tourist attractions will you visit?
  • What food will you try?
  • What is the weather like?
  • What is the landscape like?
  • What are the people who live there like? Do they have any specific traditions or customs?
  • What language do people speak?
  • Do any celebrities live there?
  • What is the country well known for?
  • Are there any festivals?

You can decide how you would like to present your talk e.g. PowerPoint (Saved on GLOW or pen-drive), poster, photographs, bringing in items etc. 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.

All talks will be assessed using the school’s Talking & Listening criteria, which is also available on Glow.

Talks should be ready to present the week beginning Monday 27th November.
