Oral Communication

Oral communication involves anticipating the previous knowledge of my audience and providing the information that they need, speaking clearly to convey my ideas to others and introducing them in a logical order, and also using audio/visual aids to enhance my message. Example 1: As A student at NTHS we are expected to complete a senior project. For my project I entered a classroom at Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School, St. Helena California, and taught a unit in poetry. During that time I collaborated with my mentor, Linda Rowland, a Teacher at Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School. Below is letter of recommendation she wrote for me. Her letter she outlines my teaching abilities as well as my communication skills. Example 2: One of the assignments given in the political studies course is a project ebelow you will see a collaboration score given to me by one of my group members from the project entitled “President’s Dilemma.” This project was designed to teach students about monetary and fiscal polices. Each group was supposed to draft monetary and fiscal policies to solve national debt, then present their ideas to a panel of judges via an Oral Presentation. Below you will view an example of the scores that I received from one of my peers in the collaboration data base where they touch basis on my work envolved in the project as well as my oral presentation abilities. Example 3: In the class politcal studies students are given the opportunities to display their oral presentation skill through projects. By following a rubric students know exactly what criteria they need in order to present their presentation and recieve a good grade on their work.
