Spoken/Oral Presentation: X/10
Next Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
These are fun and interesting.
Choose one of the topics:
What is your favourite place in your
home country?
Who is a person who you know who you
look up to?
There will be two parts to this
project:
1.
WRITTEN-
a couple of paragraphs (2, 3 paragraphs)
-Write about the place or the
person.
-Write about your relationship to
this place or person.
2.
SPOKEN
(3-5 minutes)
On your presentation day, you will
tell the class about this place or person and your relationship to it or them. You
will come to the front of the class. You can take a few written notes in case
you forget something. However, no reading. Also, please, do not recite a
memorized speech.
You can practice at home. Time
yourself.
Here are some possible topics to
focus on:
The name of the place
Where the place is
When you went there
Who you went with
What the scenery was like
What you did there
What your memories are of the place
Who
the person is
Information
about the person
Where you knew them
What you did together
What you like about them
What you learned from them
What your memories are of the person
Right now, think about what person
or place you want to tell us about.
ACTION
Step 1- Choose the place or person that you would like to talk about.
Email the name of the place or person to me by tonight 7PM. 7PM is the
deadline.
ahaley@vsb.bc.ca (1pt)
Remember to put your full name and class in the subject line of all
emails to the teacher.
Step 2- Sign up for a presentation time.
Step 3- Begin to brainstorm ideas. Then begin to write.* We will take
some class time to work on this.
*You could get ChatGPT to write this for you in .003 seconds. Hopefully,
you will take this as an opportunity to do some organization, planning, and
writing on your own. Of course, the usual VSB and SHEC policies regarding
plagiarism and academic honesty apply. If I see that your work is plagiarized
or translated, or AI-generated. it will get a 0 and a letter in your file.
I know what your writing looks like.
This will be a nice challenge, writing and speaking to the class.
Some people like to show some photos. You can use your laptop or phone.
We can check the tech any day before you present.
The projector is a bit old. If the projector doesn’t work with your
phone, maybe you email your pictures to a classmate whose phone works with the
projector.
We all want to hear what you have to say. We are on your side.
We will give helpful feedback to each person.
We are positive and supportive of each other.

1 point email by tonight 7PM
1 point
