Discussions with Marc Millford - literacy leader
Discussions with members of the English department.
When preparing their students for presenting their speeches in the English department, they have a variety of techniques that they use.
The student shave a choice of presenting in front of the whole class or recording their presentation and sending in the file
They look at examples of past presentations so they are comfortable with how it looks and the process
They practice their voice projection
They make sure that the preparation for the speech is different to the formal writing - links to sources etc are removed, it is planned to be more like a conversation
The planning for the presentation starts with the writing and thinking about what they are going to say
They can read straight from the written sheet (the plan) but mostly it is memorised and presented that way
They practice - they can be somewhere alone to do this or can do it in the class with others.
