What do teachers say about this resource? (9749)
Very good, organised and clear... Good clear lesson plans... Clear resources for pupils to use... The thinking about learning sheets are a great way to show assessment... Homework tasks are relevant to the learning in that lesson... The inclusion of TED talk's is great as most pupils are already familiar with these... After these sets of lessons, pupils would be able to create and deliver a engaging presentation... Full of great resources to save the teacher time... Covers all the key points the pupils would need to think about in their presentations. A great resource.
Excellent! It guides teachers and students through the process in preparing and delivering the spoken language presentation from the very beginning stages to the end performance. It encourages students to think about how they feel about presenting and also gives useful and practical advice to maximise students' potential... I really liked the tune into the assessment exercise that helps the students to check they understand the criteria and challenge them to consider their own starting points in terms of their skills, prior knowledge and confidence levels. I also like the presentation proposal sheet which encourages the students to clarify their chosen topic and to ensure that it is appropriate... The topic generator and mini-presentation activities are extremely helpful in supporting the students so they can form ideas and also in building their confidence... Invaluable to both English teachers and their students. It has thought of everything!
It is incredibly thorough and organised well into appropriate sections.
I like the preparing for assessment sheets.
The breakdown of the marking/assessment criteria is useful and accessible for students.
Useful proposal sheet and I like the sheet used to assess the success of other presentations.
I like the various suggestions of methods to encourage students to come up with their best possible subject for their presentations – the resources encourage them to think outside the box.
The links to public speakers and their advice is incredibly useful.
The material on rhetorical devices/strategies and hooks is excellent.
It is well matched to the specification, in that I feel students who complete this all are in a good position to do well.
I think that this a very thorough resource, with some engaging activities and suggestions of activities that can be used in a range of ways.
I particularly like scaffolding, building on knowledge from lesson-to-lesson, leading up to a workshop-style session, where students learn and draft independently. I particularly like lesson 8 with its integration of technology in the classroom.
I like the varied activities in lessons
Topic of lessons is well-sequenced, building on knowledge from lesson to lesson.
Suggested higher level questioning in lesson plans is very useful
The focus on the AOs is clearly evident and builds on the necessary skills and knowledge throughout.
