Standing to speak in 'show and tell'
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can speak loudly and clearly in 'show and tell'.
Key learning points
- Successful speaking includes speaking loudly and clearly enough for everyone to hear.
- Successful listening includes looking at the person speaking and paying close attention.
- Speaking in full sentences helps the listener understand what is being said.
- Standing to speak helps to get the audience’s attention.
Keywords
Speaking - using your voice to talk to someone
Listening - paying attention to what someone is saying
Volume - how loud or quiet someone speaks
Audience - a group of people watching a performance or event
Common misconception
Pupils may speak too quietly and find it hard to speak in full sentences.
Display the visuals for successful speaking and listening in your classroom. Ensure pupils are confident in what they are going to say - they could practise their show and tell at home or with a teacher prior to delivering it in front of the class.
Teacher tip
Provide specific topics for 'show and tell' each week e.g. special item / something from holiday / my favourite book / something from my culture / a family celebration.
