volume and pitch. c) Speak at an understandable

ability to do well when making presentations and build
confidence within themselves when giving a
presentation. The class will begin with the teacher
speaking about the qualities needed when giving a good
report and showing examples what how it can be done.
The teacher will then let the students choose their topic
and begin putting their short report together. In relation
to the SOL standards, the student should be able to
speak clearly about their topic, use appropriate volume
and pitch, organize ideas around major points of
information, and use appropriate language and specific
vocabulary to communicate ideas. The website the
