I. Examen Final: Parler [90 minutes]

Today we will begin preparing the speaking portion of the exam. Follow the directions on the assignment, which are also given below.
You and a group will create a script based on an assigned natural disaster.
Your presentation should include facts about the event, scientific information that may be helpful, and interviews with those involved in the event.
Each person should have at least a minute of speaking (for a total of 4 minutes minimum). You will need to have your part rehearsed (note cards with 10 important terms can be used for the presentation- no sheets of paper, no full scripts).
Presentations will take place during the exam period on Tuesday, June 5. This will be graded based on the speaking rubric.
Each group member should be assigned one of the following roles:
- Le Présentateur (announcer /anchor): This person will start your skit in the news station. You may want to greet your audience, state the date, give a brief description of what happened (past tense) and then send it over to the reporter at the scene.
- Le Journaliste (reporter): This person is at the scene of the "breaking news". You will want to state where you are at (present tense) and give a summary of what is going on (present) and what happened (past). You will also be interviewing 1-2 people from the event, these can be disaster survivors, or witnesses to the event.
- Les Personnages 1,2: You can be survivors of the disaster or witnesses to the event and you will be interviewed by the reporter. You will answer the questions in complete sentences and give details about the disaster and what happened (past tense).
You should plan to be done writing your script by the end of class today. Try to allow enough time in class to do a read through and prepare during the first half of the exam day before presentations.
