Famous Canadian Oral Presentation
Students will be given time in class to research a famous Canadian and then organize their information into an oral presentation. Basically they need to share their research with the class in a speech that lasts between 2 and 4 minutes.
Like all good writing,their speech will need to have a clear beginning, middle, and an end. Their opening needs to grab the audience’s attention and introduce their main talking points. It also needs to be interesting enough to keep them focused. Finally, their closing statements need to summarize the main talking points (subtopics) and restate their overall opinion statement or thesis.
Part 1: Researching their topic

Ø When and where they were born
Ø Personal background and family information, Childhood/upbringing, Education
Ø Personality traits and words that describe the person

Ø Obstacles, challenges, opportunities they benefited from, mentors
