Webquest Review

Welcome: Speaking Skill
Description: Through this web quest, the students will be able to develop a new topic "Protecting the earth" in unit 5 "Life as we know it", with the purpose to apply an "oral speech" at the end of this task. Note: take a look at the video first.
Grade Level: College / Adult
Curriculum: English / Language Arts
Keywords: oral skill, speech, protecting the earth


Speaking is one of the skill that is difficult for some students. Most of them are too lazy to speak so that they have an expectation like that. In order to avoid their laziness, teacher can do some things like in this webquest.
 Let's review the task:
Our objective    : Design a presentation to create awareness on protecting our planet.
Estimated Time : You will have 10 minutes to expose it.
Tools                 : You  can  use videos, interviews, photographies, PPT files to support
                           your work.
                         : Work in groups of 5 people and choose a leader. 
 By doing this in a group, it can push them to talk in their group.
 
About the process, it has 6 steps that I do agree with all of them. First one is analyzing the audience. Of course we have to know who wants to be the audience, so we can prepare the presentation based on their background knowledge, etc. The next one we have to choose the topic. It is the important one, I agree with it. Besides topic, we have to also know the objective of our presentation. It is a must. Then, we come to the body of the presentation. This is the most important one in the presentation. I do agree with the creator of this webquest that it is the part where you present your idea. Exactly!. The other important things are opening and closing(introduction and conclusion). It must be prepared. Yes! The last one, practicing. Well, like others said, practice makes perfect. The students can practice their presentation in many ways. I do agree with all of this process. That is the other nice way in presenting the material.
