ORAL PRESENTATIONS AND READER

What will the students do

Each student will choose a level-appropriate book. They will
read it and prepare an A3 poster with pictures related to the
story or that you relate them with the book. After that, the
students will prepare their oral presentations and present it to
the class.

The oral presentation must include:

- a brief summary of the boo
- your opinion on the boo
- explanation of the pictures on your poste

Remember to pay attention to the following aspects while speaking

- use a wide range of vocabulary.
- a clear pronunciatio
- verbal communication ( eye contact, pitch and tone to keep
attention

Which book should you choose

There are two rules
• The book should be interesting to you. It should be a fun and enjoyable
experience. Reading shouldn’t feel like work
• The book should match your reading level. Don’t try to read a book that is too
hard to understand
