Some ideas to help you with your speech:

1.  Give a brief recap of what the story was about.

2.  Why did you like this story?

3.  How would you change the story?

4.   If you could add more to the story, what would happen?

5.  Share some new vocabulary words you learned from this story.

6. Use the “Think Critically” pages at the end of each story from the Reading Street textbook.

 

Students will be marked on the following categories:

·        Pronunciation- pronounces words correctly with intonation (not like a robot)

·        Clarity- speaks clearly and distinctly, volume and fluency are excellent

·        Content/Preparation- topic is prepared and rehearsed

·        Vocabulary- uses a variety of vocabulary words (no Chinese!)

·        Questions- is able to understand and respond to questions in sentences.

 

Good morning/afternoon, my name is                                 .

The story is about                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       .
