comfortable with your speech, but you cannot read from it during your recording.
 You must speak clearly; be sure to practice as much as you can before the recording of your
performance.
 You must record yourselves speaking, I must see your faces in the recording as you share your
parts of the performance.
 You must provide visual aid in your recording. Be sure to accompany your oral performance
with photos, short video clips (with no sound), or other relevant graphics. Prepare a
PowerPoint presentation in advance to show these.

your oral performance on Zoom and share the screen to present any visual aid you have
