Oral speaking activity

Concours d'art oratoire

Our students have been presented three easy French poems and were asked to choose one to memorize and present to our class at the end of next week.

Please have your child practice to memorize his or her poem by reading it nightly as part of the home reading program in order to be well-prepared and feel confident in presenting to the class next week.

During the presentation we will be looking for:
- a clear and loud speaking voice
- enthusiasm
- audience eye contact
- a relaxed and natural body
- a memorized poem.

All students will be presenting their poem to the class next Wednesday and Thursday the12 & 13th. The school will be holding the Concours d'art oratoire assembly on March 17th, and we will have three students from our class volunteer to present their poems on this day.

You will find your child's chosen poem in their sac vert tonight. Thanks for your help with this activity. We think it will be great practice and a lot of fun!
