Knowledge and Skills Statement

Developing and sustaining foundational language skills: listening, speaking, discussion, and thinking -- oral language. The student develops oral language through listening, speaking, and discussion.

Enséñeles a los estudiantes cómo hacer una presentación sobre un tópico de interés. Una vez que la presentación haya sido preparada, pídales a los estudiantes que trabajen en grupos pequeños que se enfoquen en distintas técnicas verbales y no verbales requeridas para tener una presentación efectiva: compartir ideas bien organizadas, hacer contacto visual con la audiencia, hablar usando una velocidad y un volumen apropiados, pronunciación clara de las palabras empleadas, uso de movimientos corporales naturales y uso de las convenciones del lenguaje acordadas en el ambiente del salón de clases. Después de que se les haya dado suficiente tiempo a los estudiantes para practicar y recibir retroalimentación, ellos podrán hacer una presentación a un grupo más grande de personas.


Further Explanation

Esta evaluación estudiantil requiere que los estudiantes elaboren una presentación sobre un tópico, organicen sus pensamientos y los presenten a otros. Los estudiantes demuestran su comprensión del lenguaje apropiado en el salón de clases, así como de las expectativas con respecto a contacto visual, volumen, pronunciación y velocidad al hablar. Cheque si los estudiantes llevan a cabo el comportamiento deseado durante la presentación: apoyan su posición con hechos y hacen uso de una velocidad y volumen apropiados, pronuncian bien y miran a la gente. Revise y refuerce la instrucción en clase sobre destrezas de comunicación según sea necesario.

Students will present their ideas orally to an audience following a clear and well-thought-out structure. A carefully structured presentation should make the presentation easy to understand and effective. When making decisions about how to organize presentations, students should keep in mind the purpose of their presentations as well as the characteristics of their audience, such as the audience's previous knowledge, interests, and values. Teachers may wish to have students explore a variety of organizational patterns, depending on the purpose and topic of their presentations.
