Oral Presentations and Public Speaking Bundle – Teacher Feedback:
- “This is a great value! I always find it difficult to assess the oral language expectations from the curriculum but now that I have this bundle, I will have an assignment for each term that I can use to report on. I love the variety of presentations. Also, the inclusion of success criteria and graphic organizers for each assignment is awesome!”

Often I just tell them to talk about something they like or their favourite movie etc.. so this is going to be an awesome addition to my resource bank!”
