This worksheet is a graphic organiser for students observing oral presentations. The idea is for them to be more intentional in their observations and to fill out remarks in each of 4 areas:
Content
Body Language
Voice
Preparation
You can ask them to fill it out while watching a teacher-chosen example, then get them to fill it out while listening to a friend preparing their speech before the big day, or they could film themselves and fill it out as self-reflection in preparation for their assessment. Very handy!
