Suggestions and worksheets help students feel more at ease when giving class presentations. The three types of speeches are discussed as well as ways of giving illustrated talks and multimedia presentations. The techniques of debating are also presented and discussed.

Teachers should be aware that while students at this grade level are quite comfortable playing and chatting with their friends, they have not developed the flair for speaking in front of these same people. Help the students to see that they are not alone in feeling uncomfortable in addressing an audience and that this unit will help them write better speeches and prepare them for presentations.

The writing of a speech or presentation is just as important as the presenting. For this reason, many of the student activities in this unit involve the use of the writing process with which the students are already familiar.

Ideas are included for classroom charts. These may also be used as overheads when presenting each section. A teacher assessment rubric as well as peer evaluation sheets are also included.

Teachers should model appropriate and inappropriate behavior for listening to presentations. Class charts may be designed and posted in the classroom.
