You will do at least two speaking assignments on video and/or do them live. Your assignments should all be different speaking types; check the list below. For some of these types, you will have to work in pairs or groups.
For each assignment, you will need to:
study the rules and conventions of each speaking type;
make a preparation document containing;
a mini-dictionary of at least twenty words and phrases you will need (you can use these for your word file later)
pronunciation tips for difficult words in your dictionary;
an outline of what you want to say (this does not have to, but may, be a full script).
practise your speaking in front of a live audience and ask feedback;
process your feedback and record a final version OR plan a live moment with Mrs W;
evaluate your speaking and indicate where you have improved the most;
hand in your work for steps 1-5 in one document (Pages / Keynote / paper) and inform Mrs W that you've finished.
