This task is about speaking to a small group.
Your task is to give a 'show and tell' speech to a group of 4-5 students. You will need to bring something special from home to talk about, for example:
  • your card collection
  • the sports equipment you play with
  • something you found on the beach
  • a taonga or measina (check with someone at home first).

Your audience may ask you questions at the end of your speech. You will need to think about what the questions might be and how you will answer. Your speech will need to include:

  • an introduction that explains what you are showing
  • 1-2 sentences about why it is special to you
  • 2-3 sentences about the special thing
