Talk Homework

You should prepare a solo talk for the week beginning 19^th March. This will be delivered in front of the class and it can be about anything of your choosing, as long as it is appropriate. The talk should last no longer than 3 minutes and you should use some form of visual aid to support your talk.

 

The Task

We are learning to present an individual talk.

We will be successful if we can:

• Talk about something of our choosing for two minutes;
• Talk at a suitable pace and volume so that our audience can hear and understand us;
• Make regular eye contact with our audience;
• Use visual aids, such as a PowerPoint, film clip or poster to support our talks

 

General ideas

Favourite hobbies, favourite sporting activities or teams, an historical event, a holiday, or a particularly memorable event in your life.

 

Notes about PowerPoint

Try not to have too much text in your PowerPoint and please do not read off the screen. Images and headings are useful for your audience and it will help you to structure your talk. You are welcome to use cue cards, but please ensure they are in the correct order and that you make regular eye contact with the audience.

Please complete the mental maths sheet issued on Monday 12th March.
