by using strategies such as using synonyms and/or describing things.

Why?

- To give you lots of practice!

- To give you some tips and tools to keep talking even when feeling anxious, stuck, etc.

- Speaking is something, especially to keep talking

Questions so far....

Lesson 2 - 5

• Only bring notebook, pens + the paper you've been given
•  Only homework; using given feedback to redo and improve assignment, record this + take a picture of your feedback and submit on its Learning.
  > DO this before the deadline! I use this info to make groups!

Groups

• 2 different groups,  1 based on skill level, 1 based on interests

Skill level:

Britain > grow level, needs some work

America > minor work, around basic

Canada > glow level, can work indepedently

Lesson 1 and  5

Today and during the 5th lesson (2 weeks time), you'll submit a 3 minute monologue. Creating a first attempt and final attempt.

Lesson 2, 3 and 4:

Lesson 2,3,4

> You'll get a choice menu, 3 options!

Each option related to the levels of grow, basic, glow. 

Even if you are in grow you can still have a go at an option that might be more difficult.

> You can go up and down in skill level during this project!

That's why I need your assignments submitted on time!

Questions so far....

In order to practice...

Focus on 2 strategies:

- Using descriptions 

- Using synonyms 

If you master just 1 of these, completely fine! 

So the first attempt!

What: create a recording with your laptop or phone (and no notes), where you talk for at least 3 minutes about 1 of these topics:

- Your interests (think favourite games, series, food, travel destinations, dreams, future carreer, etc.)

- Hobbies and/or sports

- Family and/or sports

Tip: have 1 practice round and then simply record, no need for it to be perfect! It's a first attempt! 

Done? Submit it on Its Learning (and do so for Wed. 10th of May, 16.30) 

Next lesson, I'll give you a rubric with feedback based on your submission + what skill level group you'll be in

Nearing the end...

Homework: Before Wednesday (tomorrow), 10th of May, 16.30

submit your first attempt of a 3 minute monologue about 1 of the 3 subjects!

I need several of you for a panel discussion (give your opinion about this project) at the end of a project. Anyone interested?

Will take about 10 -20 minutes.
