Speaking and Listening homework for Spring term 1

Topic/written work
During your first year in comprehensive you are usually required to complete 3 speaking and listening assessments - one paired, one group and one individual- let’s continue getting you well prepared for this process!

This half term we will be completing our next speaking and listening assessment. You need to decide on the wonders of your world and you are going to talk about and then present this to the class. Some topic ideas might be: family, a favourite holiday, an unusual experience or event… be imaginative! You need to spend the time now preparing and practising your speech (see the success criteria below). You can prepare a PowerPoint as a visual aid, but this must be pictures and only a few key words (so you don’t just read off the slides!). You may prefer to have a crib sheet of the key points and some images/ objects to hand out if you prefer! You have three - four weeks to prepare for this, at home and some lesson time too. Choose something of interest to you!
Below is a success criteria list to keep you focussed!
