Oral Presentation

Name:______________________

Task: ‘Persuasive Speech’

Task:
Now that we are done writing our persuasive essays, we will share our findings with our
peers in a sort of persuasive speech. Think about your topic, and try to convince your
audience members to agree with you. Share your findings and your opinions. Your speech
should not be more than 5 min. in length. You may use visuals to help you convince your
audience, but be careful not to be too dependent on your visuals, as it is an ORAL
COMMUNICATION assessment after all. For example, if you create a google slide and
you read it all the time, then you are unable to have effective eye contact with your
audience which is an important communication expectation.

Learning Objective:

 We are learning to give an effective oral presentation using strategies that will
enable us to keep our audience members engaged
