Speaking Presentations Schedule (the full report)
Benchmark Standards listed below the schedule


They should practice their presentation at home with family as an audience at least 4 times before they present. Their presentations should be about 2-4 minutes.

To EXCEED the speaking benchmarks, they should
be able to speak clearly and fluently to the class and maintain eye contact with little or no reference to their notes. They should use good expression, gestures when appropriate, and speak loud enough for the whole class to hear. The content of the report should have substantial detail and personal insights; the information should be well-organized with a clear beginning, middle, and end, and have smooth transitions.

To MEET the speaking benchmarks, the above standards apply; however, there is minimal eye contact because they are reading some parts of their report. There might be some space-fillers (ie, "....um, ... like... you know... whatever...") Ideas & Content, Organzation may be a bit weaker or undeveloped.

To NOT MEET the speaking benchmarks, students would read their entire report with little or no eye contact, frequent space-fillers, speaking too quickly or slowly, too softly or loudly, or with little or no voice inflection or gestures. The content of the report would have missing, undeveloped details, no introduction or conclusion, flat ineffective language, or poor grammar. As you can see, a little practice each day could go a long way to exceeding the benchmarks!
