General topics: Hispanic world All our students do oral presentations, some successfully, others less so. We know how difficult it is for some students to stand in front of the class, to have everyone look at them, and on top of that to have to speak in a language they do not fully master. Yet, I am convinced that it continues to be a necessary exercise and that they will need to use their public speaking skills later. And only by speaking in public will our students be able to overcome their sweating palms and the heart palpitations. Having witnessed this too often, I decided to mitigate the fear by having the students present in groups. Having them work in groups proved very useful in ways I had not imagined at first. I gave them one big subject and divided it into many smaller ones. Thus, four students shared "Salimos de vacaciones en el Caribe". Their task was to present an advertisement for each place. One presented Playa Varadero, the second, Old San Juan, the third, Trinidad and the Valle de los Ingenios in Cuba and the fourth, la ballena jorobada off the peninsula de Samaná. They covered different countries and very different vacation ideas. They practiced their presentations together, decided order, decided visuals. They learned from each other. And when they went up together, they had each other. It worked most of the time but as all teachers know, we have students that will not cooperate with us or with their peers. I can attest that the group presentations were better than the single ones I had done before, and the students were less nervous. Plus having the rest of class make decisions about where they would go on those imaginary vacations to the Caribbean, implicated them. It worked. Preview each section Eclectic. Interdisciplinary. Another example in Oral presentations: Spain. Global them: "Guernica". One student describes the painting, another the bombing, another talks about Picasso, another the town of Guernica, another the town´s basketball team, and more. You get the picture!
