For our interview, I’ll ask a few questions and you should try to answer as best as you can.
It will be graded on:
1-Communication (x/10)
2-Vocabulary (x/10)
3-Grammar (x/10)
4-Conversation Strategy (x/10)
5-Fluency (x/10)
There’s lots of examples in the book (both at the back and the front).
Also, this Blog Entry shows you some basic grammar review and of course, you should read ‘How To Get an A’…

First of all, great job today with speech #3. I really enjoyed watching everyone, and I even managed to participate ^^
A quick summary: Some really good, loud, clear voices in today’s pairs. When voices are that loud it signals an air of self-confidence and positive energy. Very good.
I also think with additional gestures and the use of stress/intonation it really adds so much to the speech (or the scene as we did today). Remember to add them to your midterm (and other speeches).
So, the midterm. We’ve organised the dates for everyone. Remember to come on time. Super important.
For those of you who didn’t send emails (before the deadline). Here’s the info for the midterm.
I would ask you to do 3 things for next class and for the midterms:
First, check the blog for the latest update.
Presentation midterm april 2016- go to the 5th slide and ask yourself – Does my introduction do this or not? Check this speaking of speech video –
Next, look over the second link on the blog page for ‘Speaking of Speech’. Go to the ‘Introduction’ slide and then read the pages in the textbook. We’ll do them together on Thursday.
Finally, watch the video from ‘Speaking of Speech’. Can you do this?
