Below is the outline for:

• The theme for Term 1.
• The assessment key (Presentation Skills) that each student will receive after their presentation.
• The schedule for when students will need to be prepared and ready to present.

Year 5 Term 1 Speaking and Listening Challenge 

“Something that is special and precious to me”

1.Choose something at home, with your mum or dad, that is special to you.

2.Think about 3 to 5 reasons why this item is special to you.

3.Write these reasons down. Make sure these reasons will be interesting for your audience to listen to. Make note cards for your presentation that summarises these points.

4.Practise your presentation using the 5 speaking techniques that we have been practising in Term 1. You will get a score out of 5 for each of these techniques. A total score out of 25.

5.Decide whether you will bring this item in for your presentation day or, if its too big or too precious, if you will take a photo/s of it on your laptop to share with your audience on the day.
