Skill: Speaking

TODAY'S AIM

At the end of this lesson:

You will be able to explain why certain books are a particular type of book, based on its features. 

TASK PREPARATION

First, make duos.

Case:

Don’t we all just love animals! There are so many types of animals, yet, we all call them 'animals'. But when is a fish a fish? Or a mammal a mammal? The same goes for books! We have graphic novels, Young Adult books, magazines, cookbooks, biographies. But what requirements must they meet before we can put them in a box?

TASK PREPARATION

What: Explain why a certain type of book is that particular type in the form of an elevator pitch. It can be any type!

How: In duos, you’ll choose one type of book that you want to pitch. You’re going to do research on that type and tell us 5 requirements a book must meet before you can categorize it.

Help: On the handout, you’ll find a list of factual features. These are there to help you during your research. Use any type of recourse you need.

TASK PREPARATION

Time: 10 minutes to find information and prepare your script for the pitch (be smart, divide the tasks!). After that, you’ll have 5 minutes to practice what you’re going to say.

Result: You have found 5 requirements to explain why a certain type of book is that particular type for your pitch.

Ready? One spokesperson will be pitching your findings.

TASK PREPARATION

NOTE: you don’t have much time during an elevator pitch. This means you don’t have the time to come with long and difficult to understand answers. Keep it simple, make sure your audience knows what you mean.  

Which type of book are you going to research?

TASK

Ready? Set. GO!

After 10 minutes, you'll get a 5-minute warning to prepare what the spokesperson is going to say
