In this exercise you will work on your own to prepare a topic to be presented orally to the class. This talk will be slightly longer, as you will aim to talk for two minutes each. Speaking in front of other people is an important skill that we need to practise. Not everybody finds this easy, so be sure to prepare well if you feel nervous when addressing others. The rubric below will guide you.
Once you have chosen your topic, make use of the guidelines below to prepare your oral.
