Writing prompt: The future holds many exciting promises Timeline for the completion of this SAC: • Over the holidays, as you read The Illustrated Man, think about an idea, issue, theory or topic you might like to research and tell the class about. • Drafts of your speech will be worked on in Weeks 3-‐4. • They may be taken home for you to continue to plan/write/practise. You will be booked in to deliver your Oral Presentation during one of your timetabled English periods. This appointment is not negotiable and will not be changed (see ‘Absences’) Time Limit • 4-‐5 minutes. • Your teacher will indicate if you have reached the 4 minute mark. • If you exceed the 5 minute mark, you will be asked to stop speaking. Allowable Materials • Cue cards. • Copy of your speech (for your teacher’s assessment records). Absences • Failure to deliver your oral presentation will mean you receive an N for this Outcome. • Students who are not prepared to deliver their oral presentation on the due date will present their oral at another time nominated by their teacher. This will enable you to get an S for the Outcome, but your presentation will be awarded a zero. • Students who miss their appointed assessment time due to illness will need to provide a medical certificate immediately upon returning to school, and will present their oral at a time nominated by their teacher. This will enable you to get an S for the Outcome, as well as a numerical grade. Assessment of SAC • There are 15 possible marks for this SAC.
