- Start with the main idea: plan, create, rehearse and deliver spoken and multimodal presentations for audiences and purposes, selecting language features, literary devices, visual features and features of voice to suit formal or informal situations, and organising and developing ideas in texts in ways that may be imaginative, reflective, informative, persuasive and/or analytical.
- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- integrating multimodal features in a spoken presentation to support the audience’s understanding choosing vocabulary and sentence structures, and using literary devices such as similes, metaphors and personification to meet perceived audience needs; for example, when debating a topic or creating a voiceover for a media presentation
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
