Teacher Notes
Teachers may want to share models (good and bad) and rubrics to help students understand the criteria for effective speaking and presentations. Learners should consider TAPS (task/topic, audience, purpose, and style).
Teachers may want to teach planning and organizing strategies (such as using a graphic organizer or index cards and choosing a problem-solution structure) or digital literacy skills (such as locating copyright-free image or music files or using common presentation software).
