My Life in a Bag English Presentations:

This week I shared my bag with the class and they learned some things about me!
Now it's their turn to find items that represent themselves and prepare for their oral presentation. The information below was sent home in paper form with all students on Tuesday.

The calendar below shows which day each child is presenting.
Have fun finding your items!

My Life in a Bag!

For this oral presentation, you will choose five objects that represent you. Choose objects that are familiar to you because you will explain why each object represents you. You must bring these items to school on the day of the presentation and show us each object, one at a time, explaining the reasoning of your choice.
You will need to speak with appropriate volume to allow the whole class to hear you. The presentation must be spontaneous in the sense that you will not read it. Do not forget to keep eye contact with the class during the presentation. The presentation will last about 3 to 5 minutes.
Here's what to remember:

_____ Choose 5 items

_____ Bring 5 items or illustrations if the item is not available

_____ Prepare a draft text (in which order will you present your items, introduction, conclusion, words
            to describe, etc.)

_____ Practice your presentation (approximately 3-5 minutes in length)

_____ Bring objects to school on your day to present – remember a bag!
