Hello Room 14!

I hope you are all well and working hard.

That time has come around again – solo talks! I’d like you all to prepare a solo talk to present to the class next week.

It can be on any subject, it is your choice. Here are some ideas:-

• a hobby or interest you have,
• a person you admire (could be famous or not!),
• a favourite memory, holiday, occasion,
• a country you have visited,
• an animal you like or a family pet.

Here is our Success Criteria (S.C. – what we are looking for that will show you have successfully achieved this).

• When preparing your talk, choose a subject that you know about and will be interesting to your audience,
• When preparing your talk, plan what you will say and the order you will say it, so that it is clear for the audience to understand,
• When presenting your talk, speak at an appropriate pace (not too fast or too slow), clearly and at an appropriate volume.
• When presenting, make eye contact with your audience throughout. Try not to read straight from your notes all the time.
• Your talk can be anywhere from 3-5 mins long and you can use any props that you like, for example, photos, drawings, a powerpoint presentation, etc.

Good luck! I cant wait to hear what you are going to speak about!

See you soon, Mrs. J.x
