These activities are flexible and can be modified or changed to suit the needs of individual students or classes. There will be two assessment tasks during the term. These are indicated in the program. Information regarding the expected preparation at home will be sent to families at the beginning of term. It is expected that each student in a class will speak in front of their peers weekly. The level of preparation for this can be decided by each teacher and their students/families. Talks will vary in duration between classes and students, but it is expected that each week students speak for between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. During assessment weeks, this will be 1-2 minutes and will be a criterion for marking.
