Teachers, save “Show & Tell - Planning for our Talking &…” to assign it to your class.

What makes a great presentation? Planning, preparation and practice! Verbal and non-verbal interaction with your audience. Using a lovely clear voice with positive facial expressions, taking care not to rush but also not being too slow! These are all areas we need to practice often to improve our presentation and communication skills. Select a really interesting object at home to present to the class. Send me a good quality PHOTO of your item. Please do not add a video to describe your item, we will be doing this as part of our literacy lesson on Thursday or Friday. You will be asked to discuss your item for approx. 1 min (and no longer than 2 mins). You may like to make notes to help prompt and support your show and tell... but please do not plan to just read from this during your presentation. To make your object more interesting, you might want to make up some details, eg. "My great grandfather found this at the bottom of the ocean when he was 12 years old...." Have fun!
