 * Useful notes for Year 10 self introductions:**

Spoken Presentation Task:

Your spoken presentation should be a minimum of 30 seconds in length. Quality is more important than quantity. You will record your presentaton for assessment and moderation purposes.
====The assessment will consist of you recording a spoken presentation of about 30 seconds In this assessment, consider that your audience will be your teacher and prospective host family students in Japan. You may choose to record you presentation as a vlog. If you choose a vlog, it must be a video and not just audio. ==== ====You may work in pairs or in groups for your initial preparation and brainstorming. But you will give your presentation individually, and will be assessed individually. All of the preparation for your presentation must be your own work. If you include extracts from external sources, you must acknowledge those sources. Any extracts will not contribute towards your final grade. You may not use language from the language samples unless it has been significantly reworked.====

Before the assessment, discuss the requirements of the Standard with your teacher, including what you need to show in your spoken presentation.
====You should write your spoken presentation as soon as possible so you can then practise it each day in the lead up to the day you’re giving your spoken presentation, so you can work on your pronunciation and intonation. You are likely to be more confident if you are familiar and comfortable with what you have to say.====
