Grade 6

Module 6

To use additional language to communicate information

Activity 1:

To use additional language to communicate information

[lo 2.3.5]

In this exercise you will work on your own to prepare a topic to be presented orally to the class. This talk will be slightly longer, as you will aim to talk for two minutes each. Speaking in front of other people is an important skill that we need to practise. Not everybody finds this easy, so be sure to prepare well if you feel nervous when addressing others. The rubric below will guide you.

Once you have chosen your topic, make use of the guidelines below to prepare your oral.

  1. Find a bicycle, get permission to borrow it if necessary and then explain and demonstrate how to fix a puncture.
  2. Describe the day you got your first bicycle and learnt to ride it. (You may also use your imagination and make up a story.)
  3. Discuss a well known cycling tour/race such as the Argus or Tour de France , how cyclists should prepare themselves and mention a few well known names in cycling circles.
  4. The history of bicycles.
