Teaching Guidance

Activity 1: The Talk Giving a talk can help pupils find their voice and re- ally boost their confidence. However, we recognise that this can be a difficult thing to achieve. Many pupils, of all ages, feel nervous about the prospect of speaking in front of their teachers and class. So, how can we help them give a talk?

Below are top tips that can help them plan and pre- sent a talk about their chosen topic:

 Ask pupils to choose something that they real- ly like, so that they have plenty to talk about. The more interested pupils are in their chosen talk, the more enjoyable the process will be for them.  Working in small groups can be invaluable. For example, if pupils work in a group of 6, they can share ideas and practise their talks. Pupils can help each other in finding topics for their talks by working together, and rehearsing talks within an informal small group can really build confidence.
