Talks about Interviews

Now that you have interviewed a person who remembers WW2, you need to start preparing the talk about it.You need to think about:
- any photographs, maps or pictures that you need to bring to illustrate your talk.
- how you are going to introduce your talk.
- writing some notes to help you remember what to say
I will be looking for:
- a clear voice that can be heard by the audience.
- the speaker making eye contact with the audience.
- a well prepared talk-not just reading notes (you will be allowed to read directly some of the longer stories that your interviewee told.)
Those children who were unable to interview should look here to choose an area of the ww2 topic that they want to talk about.
There is no need for comments to the post for this homework. You need to have your talk prepared by Thursday 26th April.
