Oral Presentation: A Person in My Life Who I
Admire
oral- speaking
Who is a person in your life who you
admire? Choose one person.
admire- respect, look up to, want to
emulate (act like, copy)
It can be anyone: older, younger, a sibling,
parent, relative, friend, community member, etc. This person can be from your
home country, Canada, or anywhere. It must be somebody that you know personally.
This week, you will put together a
short presentation about that person. There will be two main parts to this
project:
WRITTEN (6 points)
A couple of paragraphs.
-Writing describing who they are. Write
a brief biography (the story of their life) for them. What is their name, age,
etc? Give their background. Some details of their biography. Explain who they
are.
-Writing explaining why you admire
them. What characteristics do they have that you admire? What do they do that
you admire?
You
will give me the writing the day before you do your presentation.
SPOKEN (2-3 minutes) (4 points)
On the presentation days, you will
tell the class about this person and why you admire them. You will come to the
front of the class and talk to us. You can take a few written notes in case you
forget something. However, no reading, please.
Here are some possible topics
to focus on:
Their life story
Their personality traits
Things they have said
Their greatest achievements
Their effect on other people
When you met this person
Why you admire them
If you’d like to be like them or not
We will start getting ideas together
starting tomorrow. We will take some time in the next few classes to organize,
write, and polish.
ACTION: In class tomorrow, you can tell me the name of the person and
your relationship to them.
We will the presentations over three days next week: Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday.
Sign up for a spot on the sheet at the front of the class. We will do 6
per day.
