English Unit: Preparing Oral Presentations
This unit plan has been designed to support students to prepare, plan and deliver an oral presentation. Our presentation will guide students through a process of choosing a topic and how to start planning. It also covers important oral speaking skills in detail. This unit comes complete with a set of worksheets that could be printed and used at home in preparation for a speech or stapled and used at school in the lead up to presenting a speech. We also have provided a student self-reflection template and a comprehensive teacher marking template. Let us know what you think of this handy resource!
